Academy 18137 Da Vinci Catapult Model - Celebrating Renaissance Mechanics

The Academy 18137 Da Vinci Catapult makes a strong addition to a serious modeller's shelf. This kit honours Leonardo da Vinci's inventive sketches by providing a precise plastic assembly that reflects the mechanical thinking of the Renaissance. Carefully engineered parts give a focused and satisfying building process.

Origins and Mechanical Accuracy

Although many of da Vinci's war machines remained drawings rather than built artefacts, this Academy 18137 kit brings those concepts into three dimensions. Builders can study the design intent and mechanical relationships while assembling a historically inspired model that reads well as an educational piece.

Assembly Challenge and Display Quality

Putting the pieces together is a good test for model makers who enjoy fine detail work. The finished model offers realistic movement and a compact display footprint, making it suitable for a study, workshop shelf, or a broader historical collection.

  • Scale: Non-scale
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Dimensions: Approximately 15 cm in length
  • Articulation: Functional moving parts
This kit is better suited to modellers with some prior experience because of small parts and alignment needs. New builders can still attempt it but should allow extra time and steady tools.
Yes, the design includes functional joints. Careful trimming, correct gluing, and dry fitting before final assembly will preserve movement in the finished model.
A muted palette that mimics aged wood and metal suits the subject. Prime the plastic, use thin coats of acrylic or enamel, and apply a light wash to bring out details.
