Description

The automata paper machine model combo set are designed by Keith Newstead, (born in 1956 in the U.K,) a world-renowned automata designer. You can see his fabulous works on sale in the British Museum, the Tower of London, and the National Gallery. Assemble the paper kit with glue and turn crank to enjoy this automation!

Paper automata are not just toys. They are works of art and demonstrations of science. A lot of thought goes into the design of every model. Pull the levers, turn the crank and watch with delight as the model springs into life.

They are constructed from paper rather than plastic. Paper is lightweight, strong, easy to work with and environmentally friendly. They also teach the mechanical principles of levers and gears.
