The Nerve Shredder Fairground Ride

In terms of size, this model is medium-sized at best when compared to some of my other models and maybe not too elaborated either, but the main concept is an exhilarating experience of being spun at extreme levels.

It consists mainly of eight freely tilting carriages on eight rotating arms aimed simply to turn at such immense speed; it would test the nerve of the boldest thrill-seekers!

Having achieved that, I followed up by adding a tallish structure from where to hang an illuminating light and as an embellishment and two arches to complete the model’s look, and finally a name plate is sported on top.

The model was constructed over an eight day period!

When looked upon from above, the rapid turning carriages almost look like the blades on a food blender or wood shredder and that’s where the inspiration for the name has come from.

This ride’s aim is not to thrill by taking each new different turn, but to pose a new challenge to those who feel up to it.

Mankind’s courage was not designed to be in this way stirred up, but then who said this ride was supposed to be ‘Man-kind’?

This fairground abomination is designed solely to shred nerves, assuming anyone has a nerve to test it!

The Nerve Shredder — Taking whatever little courage you have left, and quickly spinning that conviction out of you!
