Academy 18142 - Spingarde Da Vinci Series #6: Kit Description

The Academy 18142 Spingarde kit presents Leonardo da Vinci's artillery idea as a straightforward, buildable model in polystyrene. It offers hobbyists a compact project that highlights Renaissance mechanical thinking.

Exploring Renaissance Mechanisms

The Spingarde was conceived as a form of heavy firearm, and this kit mirrors the mechanical intent through detailed parts and assembly. Working on the model gives a hands-on view of historical design choices and structural intent.

Practical Assembly and Display Use

Glue assembly keeps the process traditional, and optional painting allows for a display-ready finish. The completed model suits shelf or diorama placement and complements collections focused on engineering history.

  • Scale: Non-scale
  • Material: Polystyrene
  • Assembly Type: Glue required
  • Paint: Optional for enhanced realism
No major modifications are required; basic cleaning of parts and careful glueing yields a neat display piece, while optional basing or small conversions can personalise the model.
Supervised younger modellers can take part in assembly, but small parts and glue use mean adult supervision is advised for safety and best results.
Applying subtle weathering, wood grain washes and muted metal tones will enhance authenticity; try light dry brushing and a thin wash to accent details.
