It's under 24" tall. Some of the ones the teacher has in his room are like 4 feet tall. Some are 3 feet wide. Some probably weigh a ton. None of them look like the real deal. Most are parts and pieces. Some are all scaffold and no guillotine, others are just a chopper.
That's why we went through all the trouble to scale it and make something fully authentic. It's built with authentic period mortise and tenon construction along with wooden pins holding all that in place. That's what made it so freakin difficult. I hope the attention to detail gets noticed, my kid should point it out.
