I was very certain I had like 50 unused horses laying around somewhere, I intended to build something including some of these. But after some hours of searching, I could not find them anywhere.
But it seems a fellow LAFer is kind enough to send me some of his spare horses, so in the end the project may well go through! :)
Some inspirational pictures:

I want it to be grimdark/ creepy, as you may have guessed from the pictures.

Brilliant idea ! Look forward to watching your progress
-
Terrific idea 8)
-
Excellent idea and very evocative pictures...makes me want to play Left4Dead
-
Whoah! :o
-
Great! And sufficiently spookY.
-
interesting project good luck
-
Super idea, I will follow this with great interest.
-
I'm looking forward to seeing this evolve!

I have been doubting whether I make the carousel able to turn (and the horses go up and down) or I make it more durable and sturdy.. still not sure :?

A fully motorised version, with lights and music would be great
:D ;)
-
It has to be a broken down/ruined carousel, :D I think the lights stopped working ages ago
-
Make it still go round, but with a creepy music box mechanism in the center. :o
-
nice idea
-
I watched the movie Goosebumps a few days ago and it had a broken down fairground set. May be worth checking to see if there are any screenshots available

I have decided; I'll (try to) make it go round

Good man.
At least if it doesn’t work, you can always say that it’s broken
:D

The horses came into the mail today, so I made a quick start.

The LAF gallery is not very helpfull today in turning images, sadly..
-
They still go round merrily though... :)
-
There is a gap between the horses on the right, as I plan an empty pole there. The horse which used to be attached to that pole is long gone... :)
-
Build up the structure. Next steps will include planking the floor, and making it motorised. Then I will drill through the horses to attach them to their poles.
When that all has happened I will add details before the painting will start.

(Unpainted) Empire handgunner for scale.
-
Nice!
-
I'll try to fix the images tomorrow on the pc, as thusfar those are the most broken down.. lol
-
Did the planking, and cut the horses from their attached bases and drilled through them, so they can be attached to their poles. Still a lot to do (might not motorise the carousel before the deadline, but then it will done later). I think I may finish in time though! :)
(hopefully the images will be right this time, as I have no clue why turn around everytime I upload them to this forum)

:?
I really don't get why they are turned, and can not be turned in the right angle afterwards, while I do so by clicking the 'edit' button..
-
I'm no help for what the problem is with the pictures but the base of the carousel is looking good!

If they are uploaded to the BSC2020 Gallery there is a rotate button; have you tried that?

This is a really interesting build... I tried to build a ferris wheel once for a gameboard Irish traveler carnival,but it turned out to be too complicated.

It is complicated, but I think it will work.. hopefully

Thank you!

Yes, I did.. but ah well, we'll see. I guess my final picture will be standing up right
-
This might be one of the last pictures, as I need to paint some bits before glueing parts in place, which need to be done to continue.
I used wooden skewers for this mock up, but I will glue the horses to copper rod, which is of course way more durable and the skewers don't fit in the holes I drilled trough the horses.
In the picture the motor is next to the carousel, but I'm afraid I won't be able to make it motorised in time.

Yayy first image which isn't rotated in a weird way
Any further pictures may be concerning the build of the fundament (in which I will build the system which will make the horses go up and down) and the roof of the carousel.
EDIT: as the picture clearly shows, the wooden planking of the floor has warped, but as it is an abandoned and broken down carousel, it actually doesn't concern me at all.
