What Red-blooded Canadian Boy?

A while back I encountered this plastic model kit at the local hobby store, and it took me right back to the fifth grade. What red-blooded Canadian boy didn't own an Aurora model Guillotine at one time or another (along with Frankenstein, Wolf Man, Godzilla, etc.)?

It sat in the closet for a couple of years, but what with COVID and all I thought it was time to give it a build.

I could have smeared the blade, basket, etc., with blood like I did when I was a kid, but that would be tasteless.
