Academy 18185 Da Vinci Series G.E.T Clock - Historical kit for model fans

The Academy 18185 Da Vinci Series G.E.T Clock brings a classic engineering sketch to life as a plastic kit that highlights the mechanical thinking of Leonardo da Vinci. The model is geared toward hobbyists who value the historical context as much as the assembly challenge.

Why this model appeals to history minded builders

Da Vinci produced many forward-thinking drawings that mixed art and mechanics. This clock model reproduces key features of his concept, giving builders a sense of how gear trains and timekeeping devices were conceived in the Renaissance period.

Build flow and presentation tips

The assembly is steady-paced and rewards attention to fit and gearing. After construction the clock serves as a conversation piece that links practical mechanics with da Vinci's wide-ranging curiosity.

Specifications

  • Scale: Non-scale
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Snap-fit, no glue required
  • Paint: Optional for enhanced realism
The kit represents da Vinci's conceptual approach rather than a fully period-accurate working clock, so it demonstrates the basic mechanical ideas rather than exact historical function.
Yes, painting is optional and recommended if you want a more authentic look; use fine brushes and model paints for the best results.
Place the completed model on a flat, level surface to ensure the gears mesh smoothly and the mechanism runs as intended.
Spare parts depend on the retailer or manufacturer support; keep small parts organised during build and check with the vendor for replacement options.
