Academy 18142 - Spingarde Da Vinci Series #6: Historical Model Guide

The Academy 18142 Spingarde kit brings one of Leonardo da Vinci's artillery ideas into a buildable form using polystyrene components. It provides a compact, instructive project for modellers keen on historical engineering and display builds.

Mechanics Behind the Design

The Spingarde concept demonstrates principles of force and structure that da Vinci explored, and the kit highlights those elements through its parts and assembly steps. Completing the model helps illustrate how historical inventors tackled practical challenges.

Construction Tips and Display Notes

Assembly relies on glue and basic modelling skills, while paint choices can range from clean finishes to aged effects. The final model serves as a small but effective display item that pairs well with other historically themed pieces.

  • Scale: Non-scale
  • Material: Polystyrene
  • Assembly Type: Glue required
  • Paint: Optional for enhanced realism
Standard polystyrene glue and hobby paints such as acrylics or enamels work well; use fine brushes for detail and suitable glue for plastic parts.
Modellers often add rigging, small metal fittings or custom basing to boost realism; any upgrades should respect the kit's scale and historic look.
Keep the display dust-free and avoid direct sunlight to preserve paint; gentle dusting and an occasional light polish on base surfaces will keep the model looking its best.
