Explore and learn about the mechanics of this moving dragon as you create it all yourself! The set comes with everything you need; the model is primarily made from plywood sheets of laser-cut pieces that are numbered chronologically according to the instructions.
No glue required for this project; just snap the pieces together and watch your dragon take flight (not literally). When you’ve finished, you’ll be able to wind up a key in the dragon’s chest and then step back to watch its arms, legs, and wings move. Its rubber-band motor “heart” even beats! The open-style design of this dragon means you can see up close how all the mechanics interact to make it move.
The finished model measures 20.9” x 19.1” x 11.4” and can be painted using thin paints or watercolors for an even bolder effect. Set the dragon on a display or hang from twine to mimic its flying action! This model is an intermediate-level project with 320 pieces and an assembly time of about six hours.
