Exactly as pictured
In my younger days I had the Aurora "Chamber of Horrors Guillotine" model. I don't know what happened to it but I decided I wanted another one. That is, until I discovered they cost $ 85.00 and up. So I shopped around on Amazon and found this. It's great! It came completely assembled. The wood is probably balsa, but it looks good and is nicely stained. The blade can be drawn up and released and the stock is functional. The scaffold is a great addition to the tableau one can create.<br />  I intend to add details to the guillotine such as a pulley for the blade, a second rope, a rope hitch, blade release, a basket, restraints, and so on. Also, I'll sculpt a miscreant out of Sculpey.<br /> I couldn't be more pleased with it.
