Make Your Own Press; Out: Leonarda Da Vinci's Inventions

By Katherine Sully

This book allows you to enter Leonardo Da Vinci's fascinating world and build four 3D models inspired by his research in every area of human knowledge: the art of war, flight, robotics, and architecture. The 3D models are easy to construct from pre-cut cardboard shapes, which are simply pressed out along the perforations.

Thanks to the complex creations - a tank, a flying machine, a robot knight, and an criss-cross staircase - of David Hawcock's paper engineering, some of the most important and visionary ideas of this Italian Renaissance genius can be reconstructed in 3D alongside the artist's original sketches and drawings. Leonardo's works of art and actual words, accompanied by clear illustrations and informative text, shed new light on the true significance of some of his most incredible and futuristic inventions.
