Academy 18153 - Da Vinci Series Arch Bridge NO.9: Detailed Snap-Fit Replica

The Academy 18153 - Da Vinci Series Arch Bridge NO.9 recreates a notable da Vinci structural idea in a compact kit that emphasises clean assembly and clear geometry. It is aimed at modellers who appreciate historical accuracy and attractive display pieces.

Context of da Vinci's Structural Thinking

Leonardo examined how arches distribute forces to span gaps efficiently. This model demonstrates those core principles and gives builders a hands-on way to study early engineering thought.

Presentation and Care for the Finished Model

To present the piece well, attend to seam lines and choose subdued finishes to mimic aged stone. Routine dusting and careful handling will preserve the model for long-term display.
