Italeri 3106 Leonardo da Vinci Mechanical Drum Model Kit - Display Model  [IT-3106S]

Introduction to the Italeri 3106 Leonardo da Vinci Mechanical Drum Model Kit

Leonardo da Vinci designed mechanisms that combined inventive mechanics with visual elegance. The mechanical drum is a compact example of timing and motion. This Italeri kit brings that design into a buildable format for collectors and modellers.

Historical notes and mechanical behaviour

Recorded in the Atlantic Codex, the drum works by rotating pegged rollers that engage beaters in sequence. Adjusting peg positions changes the pattern and speed. The sketches suggest both wheeled mobility and hand-cranked use for the original concept.

Collector appeal and exhibition ideas

The Italeri 3106 is appealing to those who enjoy mechanical kits and museum-style displays. Once built, the model demonstrates movement and makes an informative display piece in a cabinet or on a desk.
