TThis model works by pressing a button on the executioners back. This causes the arms to come down, which causes the shovel to strike the chain of the ball-and-chain on the old man's leg. When the this happens, the lid of the casket opens and the skeleton inside pops out. My favorite kit when I was a kid.
Unfortunatly, I was too impatient to wait for my dad to come home and help me. So I accidentaly glued the arms on. After I realized my mistake, I got it appart and scraped most of the glue off. It still worked, but not very well. I usually had to help the arms move.
Can't wait to start working on the one I just got. I have to take it appart and see why things aren't working quite right. I don't think I am going to strip the kit. I'll just build on the paint job already on it.
