Mechanical display build from the Academy 18185 Da Vinci Series G.E.T Clock

The Academy 18185 Da Vinci Series G.E.T Clock kit offers a hands-on way to study Leonardo da Vinci's inventive approach to timekeeping. The model is targeted at hobbyists who appreciate both the craft of assembly and the educational value of historical machines.

Context and modelling interest

Leonardo's notebooks blend sketches of machines with observational notes, and the G.E.T Clock reflects his mechanical thinking. Builders can examine gear layouts and simple mechanisms inspired by those original studies while assembling the kit.

Construction notes and display guidance

Assembly focuses on careful fitting of parts and correct gear alignment, so take your time for the best result. Once complete the clock provides an attractive display that sparks interest in engineering history and model making.

Specifications

  • Scale: Non-scale
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Snap-fit, no glue required
  • Paint: Optional for enhanced realism
Yes, the finished model demonstrates moving gears and a simple clock function that illustrate da Vinci's mechanical ideas.
No adhesives are required since the parts are designed for snap-fit assembly, though you may choose to use minimal glue for permanent displays.
This kit is suitable for intermediate modellers who have experience with part trimming and careful assembly; it is a step up from basic snap-fit projects.
