UGears Butterfly Animated Kinetic Model Kit

The UGears Butterfly is an animated kinetic sculpture powered by a rubber-band motor that flutters like a butterfly with no external power source or batteries. The model requires no glue or additional tools and is built from precisely pre-cut natural plywood details assembled in blocks using a comprehensive, step-by-step color instruction manual available in 11 languages. The set includes 168 parts and comes with two sets of wings (one color and one beige) that you can paint; the delicate wings use craft paper and the lower wings change tilt during operation. Two front pairs of legs move while the back legs act as launch/stop levers for the motor. The Butterfly sits on a flower-shaped platform with an elastic support that slightly bounces the model, making its movements more realistic. The skeleton-style body lets you see the internal gears and blocks as the mechanism works. Model Size: 14.2 x 22.8 x 22.8 in. Assembly Time: 3 hours. Recommended Age: 14+.
