Creativity and mechanics collide in this high-quality wood model set that produces a dragon that can move on its own. 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.

Description
Welcome to the dwelling of a wise and cunning beast guarding countless treasures he will only reveal to the one bold enough to face his mechanical magic! Behold – the magnificent Windstorm Dragon of the Ugears' automatons collection is here to challenge your wits and skills in your next mechanical model's adventure.
The Windstorm Dragon model kit is a classic mythical reptilian, the embodiment of ancient might and power, presented in wood and animated by the wizardry of Ugears engineers.
Your new magnificent pet has an open-style design that allows you to see its mechanical heart – rubber-band motor – beating. The model has a winding key in the frontal part of its chest. To wind it up, hold the dragon by its body and rotate the key clockwise. Release the motor by pulling the start lever. This is when the magic begins: the arms, legs, and even the whole body of the Dragon will start to move. And of course, the amazing pair of strong and beautiful wings will be set in motion. This is your Ugears Dragon's very special feature: the bones of the wings are made of wood, but the rest is beautifully designed feathery paper cutouts. Softer and flexible material makes the flight look very realistic and leaves room for your own ideas.
The model can be set on special support or hung on twine. It will look equally fascinating with its laser engraved scales and spiky tail.
Traditionally, the model is made of high-grade wooden materials and comes with everything you need in the box. Solve the mechanical mystery of an ancient beast and become a Dragon Master with Ugears Windstorm Dragon model!
