DaVinci Paddle Boat

Plastic model kit by Elenco
In Leonardo da Vinci's time, nautical expedition was the most expedient method of communicating with the world. Da Vinci brought forth plans for a boat with large wheel-shaped paddles that would propel it through water. Da Vinci looked to nature when designing many of his inventions. He based the paddle boat on the shapes and movement of fish. The tapered prow allowed the vessel to maneuver easily. Sailors worked the pedals to turn the rotating paddles allowing the boat to move rapidly over water.
The scientific genius of Leonardo da Vinci is brought to life through this snap-together replica and is taken from the pages of da Vinci's priceless and awe-inspiring notebooks. Made of plastic and requires no special tools. The educational instruction manual teaches how DaVinci's inventions have evolved into what they are today. Assembly required.

Roman Warship 1/48

Plastic Model Kit by Academy
Roman warships were fearsome weapons and a major factor in the expansion of the Roman Empire. The ships were powered by sails and oars, and armed with the spears and swords of the soldiers on board. Protection was provided by many removable shields along the sides of the craft. A unique "proboscus" on the front of the ship was a reinforced ram often used to spear enemy ships. In the event an enemy ship remained skewered to the Roman ship, the soldiers would leap aboard and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Plastic pieces attached to sprues and molded in tan and cream. Finely engraved hull and deck detail simulates authentic wood texture. All parts are precision injection molded including billowing sails and body surfaces. Sports a small brick fort in the stern of the ship. Many oars reach from the sides of the craft into the water.
