Get one from a company that makes railroad scenery.

If you add the word RR to a item the price goes up by 100 percent.

No, but I would very much like a bandstand.

FYI – There is a carousel available as a printable 3D .STL file. Which, since it is printable, could be scaled up or down within reason to hit other scales.

Company is Z1 Designs.

The problem with a carousel in wargaming (as opposed to dioramas or railroading) is that I don't just want either:

(1) A big, decorative piece of cylindrical blocking terrain

or

(2) A small, decorative piece of cylindrical blocking terrain with a larger cylinder of ornate terrain that reduces ranged combat effectiveness.

I want figures to be able to run through it, dodge back and forth amoung the horses and carts, and have lines of fire and movement open and close in interesting ways. To do this, I need at least two annuli where figures' bases can fit with one ring of horses between and one on the outside.

Really, to do this, you have to compromise and use two rings of flats for the horses. Also, don't put polls on the tops because you don't want to have to reach down between them to move figures. Even without polls, the horse flats need to curve along the ring or they will gum up figure movement.

So what we want to be a fast=paced, dynamically exciting game of dodge and dash becomes a fidgety-widget, time consuming drag. I might as well play [insert your own opinion of a game here]!

I have a small one…ideal for a child-size carousel. It's a cake decoration. Cost me like $1.50 USD.
