The Academy 18138 Mechanical Drum is part of the Da Vinci Series and recreates a clever design attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. The kit provides a hands-on way to appreciate classical mechanical thinking while building a neat display model.
Leonardo da Vinci explored numerous mechanical ideas that combined form and function. This mechanical drum shows how pattern, gearing and motion were considered in early invention sketches.
Assembly requires accurate trimming and gluing to keep components aligned. Finished, the model suits a cabinet or study as a compact example of historical engineering and design heritage.
