| Product Description |
Paper automata, mechanical paper models, with movable figures powered by sand, hot air, pressed air, push and pull, and crank mechanisms date have been around since the 19th century and are enjoying increased popularity once again today.
Walter Ruffler, one of Europe's most accomplished automata designers, creates mechanical paper kits that are both humorous and sophisticated. These paper "machines" use cranks, levers, and wooden sticks to simulate amazingly lifelike movement.
In Ruffler's "Stormy Sea" kit, a skipper rides out stormy seas in his dinghy. As the brave sailor is tossed to and fro in the waves, he is nearly pitched overboard, but barely manages to right himself with his craft. A crank mechanism enables the exciting life-like movement.
Easy to follow illustrated step-by-step instructions are included with the kit. You will need your own scissors, craft knife, ruler, and white school glue to complete this project.
This mechanical paper kit, recommended for ages 12 and up, is a perfect gift for model builders and budding engineers.
