Guillotine

[...]The guillotine was invented with the specific intention of making capital punishment less painful in accordance with Enlightenment ideals, as previous methods of execution in France had proven to be substantially more painful and prone to error. After its adoption, the device remained France's standard method of judicial execution until the abolition of capital punishment in 1981.The last person to be executed in France was Hamida Djandoubi, who was guillotined on 10 September 1977. Djandoubi was the last person executed by guillotine by any government in the world. [...]

It still gives me the chills when I read only a few years before I was born some dude got legally decapitated with one of these..

The model itself is not functional, I'm not sure of the release system and struggle a while with the rope, I recreated it as per some visual references I found in internet and my personal idea of how could it be done.

[...]断头台（guillotine）的发明初衷是为了契合启蒙思想，将死刑执行过程变得更为人道无痛——此前法国采用的行刑方式不仅痛苦程度显著更高，且极易出现失误。该装置被采用后，始终作为法国标准司法处决手段，直至1981年法国废除死刑。法国最后一名被处决的囚犯是哈米达·扬杜比（Hamida Djandoubi），他于1977年9月10日被送上断头台。扬杜比亦是全球范围内最后一名被各国政府以断头台方式处决的犯人。[...]

每当我读到在我出生仅数年前，就有一名男子被以合法方式用这类装置斩首时，仍会感到脊背发凉。

本模型本身不具备实际功能，我对其释放机构并不完全了解，且在绳索结构调试上曾耗费不少精力。我是根据网络上找到的部分视觉参考资料，结合自身对该装置的构想，复刻出了这个模型。
