You have no items in your shopping cart.
So, you've geared up for a beach trip, but it's raining outside. What now? Mechanical model kits are a fun alternative that will keep you enthralled for hours.
---------------------
Picture the scene. You've got it in mind to head down to the beach on your day off, but you look outside, and the sun is nowhere to be seen. As such, your plans are ruined, and you've got a boring day indoors to look forward to. Don't stress, though, as there's a truly engaging alternative to fill your free time, and it comes in the form of mechanical model kits.
"Model making? Sorry, that's not for me", you might say, which is fair enough. However, before you dismiss the idea, you need to take a look at the mechanical models that are available these days. They've evolved a lot in recent years, and they're a distance away from the plastic planes and tanks you might have initially thought of. In fact, they couldn't be more different.
Living, Breathing Mechanical Model Kits
The mechanical model kits for adults we're talking about aren't static, lifeless models that leave you with sticky fingers and an underwhelming feeling about the final result. No, these are living, breathing feats of engineering, and being able to put models like these with your own two hands can be deeply satisfying.
Just a few amazing examples include:
● The Marvel Tank from Time for Machine is a mesmerising 3D mechanical model that's inspired by the British Mark I tank from WW1. Complete with shiny tracks, intricate inner workings, and the ability to move under its own clockwork power make it one of the most thought-provoking models ever made.
● The Pendulum Clock from Wooden City is another gorgeous example of what happens when artistry meets engineering. This elegant timepiece again has a complex inner mechanism that can be seen moving in perfect harmony. It's a model that also serves as a beautiful decorative piece suitable for any home, and it's made entirely from wood!
● The Locomotive from ROKR is another jaw-dropping example of model-making brilliance that will certainly appeal to anyone with an interest in steam trains or engineering. It can move many feet on a single wind of its inner woodwork motor and even has a spinning steam whistle. Putting it together is a fabulous way to spend an afternoon or two.
As you can see, these are not regular mechanical model kits. Rather, they are creations that are a testament to human invention. Furthermore, there are options available for any skill or experience level, meaning that anyone can get involved.
