Academy Da Vinci and Mechanical Kits

Academy Da Vinci and Mechanical Kits

Explore Academy’s da Vinci machines and the Penydarren locomotive model. These projects place the mechanism and its movement at the center of the build, with gears, levers and moving parts to follow through assembly.

Choose the subject and scale

Read the complete subject name and Academy kit number before selecting a version. A unit, production type or named edition can change which references and paint scheme you need. Compare the scale with the rest of your planned display and check the individual listing for any stated special features.

At the workbench

Read the assembly order before applying finish to any mechanism. Test movement at each stage and keep contact points clear so the finished model can demonstrate the intended action.

Plan the finish and supplies

Start with the instructions and a list of the colors, tools and materials needed for this kit. Dry-fit the main parts, then prepare a test sample of the intended finish. Keep delicate details accessible through painting and leave their final installation until the assembly sequence calls for them.
