This is a nice little model with a neat mechanism. It is very precise and comes with good instructions, no problem to build it, and it works smoothly The base gear is a four-bar rocker, and the leg motion is derived by an additional lever. Cardboard backs are coloured, so everything looks fine even without additional colouring.

		When you turn the crank, the witch rocks forward into a dive, pulling the legs neatly back under her cloak, and then she recovers and pulls the broom into an ascending position. Watch the video!
		Dive and back view position. Now if I only would learn to form really good cones!
