Bubbles

Here's my bubble gum machine that I recently sold. I tried posting the pic in the gallery but it wouldn't let me. I wasn't sure if it's something on my end or this end. So, I'll just post her here.

That is the most MOOving gumball machine I ever saw!

When you lift her tail, she drops out a treat for you, from her behind, into the bucket.

I have a little plastic reindeer that pretty much does the same thing and when I saw this pattern, I had to have it.

I never thought I would sell her, but one of the women I work with wanted it for her 10-year old nephew's birthday. Seems he's at the age where bathroom type humor is funny. I'm still at that age, but that's another story.

I think it would be funny to put brown M&Ms in her, but I'll have to make one for myself now, after I make one for one of the other women at work.

Hows it work?????

OK, I gotta try one,
where did you get the pattern??

tell me can you show how the dispencer works? is it a tapered tray that gravity feeds into a slot in the tail,

Questioning, becuse i want to make a goat. that dispences peanuts for my brother in law, who is turning 40.
he loves peanuts and eats them by the gallon can... so it will be used.

I ordered the pattern from Meisel Hardware http://www.meiselwoodhobby.com/cgi-b....wml&storeid=1. I don't have the actual item number, but if you search under Cow it will come up.

The body is actually 5 different pieces that form the cavity for the gumballs. The center piece has the head and udder area which is slanted toward the back. Then there are 2 pieces that are glued on to either side to make the cavity wide enough for the gumballs. Then 2 more pieces are glued on to enclose the inner cavity. The tail is a separate piece that gets fitted into an opening in the back and is held in place with a headless nail. The head, ears and legs are then glued on.

It was a lot of fun to make. Hope that helps.
