that looks pretty boss. the white dome is fabric? it looks to have a fair whack of stickers as well, but you arn't paying so much for the parts selection here as the awesomeness of a working carousel. kudos for doing it with brick built horses!

looks like it includes at least 8 jester's hats.
Hmm,
$350 /8= $43.75
I am pretty sure that is less than I paid for some of my castle advents!

:p
