Build a LEGO® carnival full of action with the GBC 60 Funhouse from PV-Productions

15 July 2026

There’s another great build in store for fans of LEGO® Technic and GBC modules. PV-Productions has released the GBC 60 Funhouse, a new alternative build that lets you repurpose the parts from the LEGO® Technic Airbus H175 Rescue Helicopter (42145) into a working Great Ball Contraption.

No helicopter sitting on the shelf, but a cheerful carnival full of movement. That’s exactly what this Funhouse build is all about. LEGO® balls roll, spin, and move thanks to clever Technic mechanisms, creating a colorful machine that’s not only fun to build but also a joy to watch.

From a LEGO® Technic helicopter to a moving GBC machine

The LEGO® Technic Airbus H175 Rescue Helicopter (42145) is, of course, already an impressive set on its own. But with the GBC 60 Funhouse, this set takes on a whole new life. PV-Productions uses the helicopter’s parts as the basis for a fully functional Great Ball Contraption.

That makes this alternative build especially interesting for builders who like to get more out of their LEGO® sets. Instead of building the set once and then setting it aside, you transform the parts into a dynamic machine where movement, engineering, and creativity come together.

A LEGO® carnival full of movement

The GBC 60 Funhouse is inspired by the atmosphere of a classic carnival. Think color, movement, and clever surprises. The module guides LEGO® balls through various mechanisms, creating a continuous spectacle of spinning, moving, and rolling parts.

As you’d expect from PV-Productions, it’s not just about the end result. The building process itself is a key part of the experience. The GBC 60 Funhouse is packed with clever Technic solutions and offers a fun challenge for anyone who loves mechanical LEGO® builds.

Perfect for GBC builders and Technic fans

Are you already familiar with LEGO® Great Ball Contraptions? Then the GBC 60 Funhouse is a great addition to your existing track or display. The module is designed to run reliably and fits well with other GBC modules from PV-Productions.

Even if you’ve never built a GBC before, this is an interesting project to start with. Step by step, you’ll discover how LEGO® Technic parts can work together to smoothly move balls through a machine. That makes this build educational, challenging, and above all, a lot of fun.

What do you need for the GBC 60 Funhouse?

To build the GBC 60 Funhouse, you’ll need the LEGO® Technic Airbus H175 Rescue Helicopter (42145), along with standard GBC balls and the building instructions from PV-Productions. You can also expand the module or make it run more smoothly with, for example, a USB Power Box and the GBC Funnel Turbo Spin Left.

Don’t have all the parts, or want to expand your GBC setup? Then head to ToyPro for individual LEGO® parts, Technic parts, and handy add-ons for your own creations. This way, you can complete your GBC module or give it a personal twist.
