A guillotine is an apparatus designed for efficiently carrying out executions by beheading. The device consists of a tall, upright frame with a weighted and angled blade suspended at the top. The condemned person is secured with a pillory at the bottom of the frame, holding the position of the neck directly below the blade. The blade is then released, swiftly and forcefully decapitating the victim with a single, clean pass; the head falls into a basket or other receptacle below.
The guillotine is best known for its use in France, particularly during the French Revolution, where the revolution's supporters celebrated it as the people's avenger and the revolution's opponents vilified it as the pre-eminent symbol of the violence of the Reign of Terror.[1] While the name "guillotine" itself dates from this period, similar devices had been in use elsewhere in Europe over several centuries. Use of an oblique blade and the pillory-like restraint device set this type of guillotine apart from others. Display of severed heads had long been one of the most common ways European sovereigns exhibited their power to their subjects.[2]
The design of the guillotine was intended to make capital punishment more reliable and less painful in accordance with new Enlightenment ideas of human rights. Prior to use of the guillotine, France had inflicted manual beheading and a variety of methods of execution, many of which were more gruesome and required a high level of precision and skill to carry out successfully. After its adoption, the device remained France's standard method of judicial execution until abolition of capital punishment in 1981.[3] The last person to be executed in France was Hamida Djandoubi, guillotined on 10 September 1977. - Věda a technologie

Had this kit as a child in 1965. Wasn’t packaged as nice but essentially the same thing. Wow, what memories. I haven’t thought about it since then. I put a small lead weight inside the blade portion so it would drop faster. My mom thought I was morbid. She bought it for me for my birthday because I drove her crazy about wanting it. I grew up normal despite my fascination.
Hey Chris! This was originally issued by Aurora as "The Madame Tussaud's Chamber of Horrors le Guillotine". Parents groups lost their minds over the fact that the guy's head could be chopped off so the next kit in the series "The Hanging Tree" never made it past the prototype. It was also gonna be part of the Madame Tussaud line. It showed a guy dangling from a noose in a big tree. For as old as this kit is, it can build into a pretty neat replica. Thanks for showing us this one!
Aurora also did a prototype for The Rack, which featured a medieval executioner stretching a man out on a torture rack. While the Madame Tussauds line didn't continue, many of its concepts carried over into Aurora's Monster Scenes line...
I made this kit in the 70s and gave it to my French teacher. He put above the blackboard where it remained for years. Might be there still to this day.
Built the original as a kid in the 60's ...wish i still had it and the box
Wish they'd carried on with the line, now you mention it I seem to remember it was a tie in to the Chamber of Horrors at Madame Tussauds wax work. In 1980 I went with college friends to Shepton Mallet caves. You had to go through a Victorian paper mill where they stored all older wax heads and plaster bodies from Tussauds I remember the 1964 Beatles , and Diana Dors bust from the Sgt Pepper album cover.
This was among the earliest of my model builds along with the horror movie monsters - Wolfman, Creature From The Black Lagoon, Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula
Great times to be a kid in the early 1960's
I loved those days! Famous Monsters, Aurora kits, and a great number of pop and rock hits !
@@pmdk1953
👍👍
@earthlingjohn Agreed and I had same in the 60's...👍🏼👍🏼
Interesting subject Chris
Nice kit! They should move the basket farther away for a 3 pointer! Awesome video!
I remember reading the book A Tale of Two Cities
Great job on a different model Chris
Glad you like it!
You have taken advantage of an excellent opportunity to demonstrate your ability to reproduce wood textures and weathering techniques. Clearly very useful techniques for vehicle building and dioramas. Great build video.
So much fun to see different things on here - this one is really neat.
This is crazy and macabre! Insane build I love it. 😄
As always an Outstanding video, build and presentation.
Lovely kit, great display piece, terrific build and paint job. This sort of kit got me into model building all those years ago
Awesome build, I really like watching you explain as you do a model very interesting. Thanks
Awesome kit , great work as always .
Very good finish .
SOOOOO KOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLL.
Mike .
You did a great job on this kit. I liked and built some of these models as a kid in the 1960s.
I really love when you build these kits. Awesome.
Just one more kit that I feel I must have 2 of. Great build. Love the way it ended up looking.
I almost lost my head when I saw the title of the video!!
I wish I could buy more kits but I just invested in a camper that we'll be using to travel with on vacations. My money is going to that now but I gotta keep living vicariously thru CZcams channels.
Variety of builds and seeing how you achieve certain effects are the reason I watch your channel Chris. Keep up the great work!👍
Ha! I built a Guillotine kit when I was about 10 (48 years ago). Can't remember the make. Sadly, my skills were hopeless back then, and it was a mess. I'd love to build one now.
Don’t lose your head over the excitement of this model kit!!!!!
WOW ! This took me back to about 1973/4 , reminded me of a Hammer Horror film, think it was made by Aurora like the other horror 'glow in the dark' kits of that era, i remember the same art cover, but the other presentation booklet wasn't there, just like basic Aurora. I lived in Aldershot Hampshire UK, back then. I made the head removable with red inside so he could have the 'Robespierre experience '. I seem to remember a basic wood effect on the wood bits, but i cut a bit off mum's washing line to tie his hands. Looks like they've reworked it for the better generally. Might get one for the memory. 👍
Good job! I had this kit in the UK back around 76'ish which I gave a very amateur paint job compared to yours. I remember the head being attached or in the basket an option that could be switched whenever wanted. A few fishing weights for the blade assembly may help increase its movement over time with a bit of extra work in places. Would like to get this kit again for nostalgic reasons of my childhood & to make a better experienced job of it this time around.
Awesome! Great to see you mixing up your builds.
Was thinking of getting this and this video pops up!
I just might...
I’ve got to get this kit!
Haven't seen you do one of these figure kits for a while and I always find them interesting, especially how you go about painting them.
Bought it after seeing this video. Way back in the early 1960s this was one of the first kits I built.
This would be a great gift for Yor Forger. (Spy x Family anime)
I have put together three of these Aurora guillotine models over the years. I found it very helpful to insert lead weights such as those found in fishing tackle, called '"sinkers," inside the mouton. Without the added weight the blade does not fall very quickly or effectively. With the added lead weights the blade falls swiftly and takes off the model victim's head. Historically, the original guillotines used during the French Revolution were said to be painted red, for obvious reasons. Few images from the period actually show this, however. The most impressive guillotine from the movies appears in "A Tale of Two Cities" filmed by MGM in 1935. If not historically accurate, it is, nevertheless, very imposing and practically a character in the drama. It is not the simple mechanism of 1792 but a mighty engine which employs a pincer-like spring-catch that holds the blade and mouton in place until it is released to free-fall without the rope attached. There is a large wheel to the side of the frame for hauling the heavy blade to the top. There are a few contemporary sketches that suggest this model and the mechanism for releasing the blade to fall free of the rope but it is not clear whether they were actually in use or merely a contemporary artist's imagination. By 1870-72 the Leon Berger device using a number of improvements such as the declíc and free-falling mouton-blade had been introduced. The Nazis, those clever engineers of death, invented their own version, the fallbeil, with a number of ingenious improvements.
I built one as a kid aurora kit. Chopped off a lot of heads.
Great build....great video.
Great kit. The backdrop is awesome for a diorama. Very nice build, sir. I built it about a year ago and it came with glow in the dark extra pieces for the figure. Never used them. I remember building the original Aurora kit from the 60's so this build brings back memories. Nice that companies are redoing the older kits and enhancing them for todays modelers.
Really is different!! Excellent build! Always enjoy what you do in your builds! Thanks
That is really grotesque, but they did a nice job of producing it. A morbid part of history. But it existed nonetheless. Thanks for the review.
Hope I don't lose my head for this, but you need more blood splatter on beams. Keep em coming and I'll keep watching.
Oh, Chris! It can be made to work and knock the figures head off into the basket. A friend of mine had this kit. He built it up to work!!
Yes, like I said, out of the box it will not operate, but it can be made to drop with more work. I review out of the box, as-is. :)
I've seen the one with weights and a magnet head and it was pretty neat.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice 👍
Very cool!
this would be a cool thing to add to a diorama or put a sharp blade in it and make it a functioning cigar cutter
I'm working on the Polar Lights reissue right now. I had the original Aurora kit when I was a wee lad, and did not have any problems with the blade going down and cutting off the head. I think PL, and now Doll & Hobby modified the kit, so that the peg that sits between the head and the body is longer. In the build I am working on now, I cut off the peg, and replaced it with magnets (I got them from Amazon).
Love these fun kits polar lights issued it last time if I’m right
Great job mate👍
Now that's cool I've never seen that model in the stores
For those that are looking for very realistic blood for their kit : Warhammer makes a paint called Blood for the Blood God that is
more realistic than just using red paint. Sometimes, regular red paint - just looks like that - not like blood. Also, flicking the bristles
of an old toothbrush to make tiny splatters on some surfaces adds to the terror of this device.
Indeed, that paint is amazing for blood!
Weird subject matter but it turned out great
I guess making a model of a tank is also a killing machine
I had one from the 60s just like that but it actually worked it chopped the guy's head off
I built this kit when it first came out I detailed it as much as I could at that time , I placed split shot n the blade holder to give it more weight. Spent many a hour chopping heads off , great fun but still a little morbid. Was in the process of designing a bigger scale so I could chop off my sisters barbie dolls head but my dad put a stop to that😱😵🇨🇦
Great looking kit Chris and I did have the original Aurora version in the 70’s! This Doll and Hobby is a perfect replica of that kit. As a matter of interest can I ask what the adhesive is with the brush that you use? Thanks 👊🏻
France used the Guillotine until 1977. They were still public until 1939.
Didn’t Aurora have the Guillotine in their range? I remember that and the cage.
No no, I'm 69yrs, I had one that I put toghther back in the day. There was a place inside where the blade was for you a couple of pennies for weight, I put some #8 lead birdshot in mine for weight that dad had around for reloading shotgun shells.
I had fantom of the opera, monster from the black lagoon, hunchback of notre dame, the werewolf, dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde, the mummy, and Dracula. There was a couple of other but I never was able to get those.
Needs Wednesday and Pugsly models to really complete this kit....
This build brought to you by Basket o' Noggins...
(It puts the noggin in the basket or it gets the blade again)
'Not the time to lose one's head.'
'That's not the way to get ahead in life.'
'It's a shame he wasn't more headstrong.'
'He'll never be the head of a major corporation.'
Fun fact - the last guillotine execution in France was in the same year as the theatrical release of Star Wars. (1977)
I had this kit when l was a kid.
Does anyone remember "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" model by Aurora? I had that, and l think l built most of the kits.
I remember seeing this kit being sold at Dollar Tree when I was a kid. Or at least one extremely similar.
That was when the original manufacturing company, Polar Lights, was bought by the company Racing Champions. Racing Champions closed down the Polar Lights model kit division and liquidated much of their stock. It was a very dark time if you liked model kits...
First Great job that your doing. I started watching for the first time a few days ago. I started watching just after dinner and before I knew it 4.5 hours had passed.
I looked threw your vids and did not see any stock factory motorcycle builds. Could you do a build of the 1970s Honda CB400f Supersport ? Its a rare bike because there are only 400cc but 4 cylinder. Thank you Fingers crossed that you can do this
Hmmm, sometimes it seems a nice Dragster or Funny Car just might be a bit cooler than an ancient killing device?
Best kit ever
hey Chris, how about some influence to round2 about a figure of the Knights templar??
I have zero influence on what R2 makes, but they welcome a nice email from their website with ideas from customers. :)
That is a lovely boxing of the kit, especially with that backdrop. I may be incorrect but was this originally issued by Aurora?
I think it was from Aurora
Hey Chris..the reason kids were getting their fingers cut was because they were putting razor blades in them..i had one as a kid around 10 years old ..but no razor blade..lol..
What glue do you use? Seems to dry pretty quickly
The French apparently used the guillotine right up to 1977.
Cool kit ... different.
The last execution in France with a guillotine was in 1977. France then outlawed capital punishment in 1981.
The last Person who Was Introduced to this Machine was in Paris in 1977 .
Please can you or anyone tell the name of the music that's on the hand painting scene, I hear it on lots of videos. Thanks.
Didn't this kit have a magnet head that attached so you could fake cutting it off?
No doubt as a kid I would have gotten some fake blood and covered this thing for maximum gross out effect lol
This is grotesque.Wonder how many people were executed like this who were innocent.
too many. Today is definitely the best time to be alive. anyone who remembers the 'good old days' is delusional.
Too bad the series wasn't continued. I'd hold out for the Electric Chair and Gas Chamber :)
Nice build, but a pity you didn't paint the figure, and the basket and addede the blade, it is the important part of the guillotine.
LOL, what video did you watch? I painted everything and all parts are there.
@@hpiguy OOps, sorry. I guess my pc malfunctiones - I didn't get all of the video.
The french Republican's back then said it was a humain way of executing someone because it was a quick death, but then again, they were not the ones getting there head chopped off.
Dunno who had the idea to make a model out of it but it's awful.....
It’s kinda gross
