The story
Inside the Wooden-Town Da Vinci Helicopter 3D Wooden Model Kit
Wooden-Town Da Vinci Helicopter Motorized 3D Wooden Model Kit
Recreate one of history’s most famous inventions with the Wooden-Town Da Vinci Helicopter Motorized 3D Wooden Model Kit. Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s legendary aerial screw — his 15th-century vision of a flying machine — this detailed DIY model brings a 500-year-old idea to life on your desk.
Unlike a static puzzle, this one moves. Switch it on and the helical rotor spins, turning Leonardo’s sketch into a working kinetic sculpture with mechanical charm and Renaissance character.
Why You’ll Love It
- The Rotor Really Spins: A working motor drives Da Vinci’s iconic aerial screw so the model turns just as he imagined it.
- Two Power Modes: Run it in Track Mode with batteries for a self-contained display, or in Wireless Mode via USB-C for continuous motion.
- A Piece of History: Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s original flying-machine design — a true conversation starter.
- No Glue Required: The wooden parts connect with a precise slot-and-tab system for a clean, secure assembly.
- 154-Piece DIY Kit: A rewarding hands-on project for model builders, history lovers and engineering fans.
- Kinetic Display Piece: Perfect for a desk, office, studio or shelf where a little motion makes all the difference.
Build a 500-Year-Old Flying Machine
The Wooden-Town Da Vinci Helicopter offers a relaxing yet genuinely rewarding building experience. Each part is precision laser-cut to fit together with a clean, tactile click. As you assemble the base, frame and spiral rotor, you gradually build a real working mechanism inspired by one of the greatest minds in history.
Once the final piece is in place and you flip the switch, Leonardo’s aerial screw comes to life. Watching your own hands turn a flat kit into a spinning flying machine is exactly the kind of satisfying payoff that makes this build stand out.

Before you buy
Questions? Answers.
Do I need glue or tools?
Our mechanical models, marble runs and music boxes fit together without glue, and no special tools are needed. Some miniature house and book nook kits use a little craft glue — any extras are listed in the product description.
Is this kit right for a beginner?
Check the difficulty and build time shown above. Beginner and Intermediate kits are perfect first builds; Advanced kits have more complex mechanisms for builders who want a challenge.
Does the model really move?
Most of our kits do — gears turn, wheels roll, marbles run or music plays, powered by rubber bands, wind-up springs or a hand crank. A few are display models that stay still. The description says exactly what moves on this kit.
What if a piece is missing or breaks?
Free replacement — just send a photo of the piece. Add the part number if you can find it.
Is it a good gift?
