Mauther, from Brazil, owner of PAPERMAU, (a huge collection of free original and exclusive paper models and the best, rare and unusual free papercrafts of all the world!) dedicated one of his lovely American 1950’s style garages to me. Thanks a lot!

Although apparently this machine might seem completely useless, it is the proof that everything (or almost everything) is possible with paper…
Download, print, build and have fun!
(660x165x220 mm)
Sebbene apparentemente questa macchina possa sembrare del tutto inutile, essa è la dimostrazione che tutto (o quasi) è possibile con la carta.
Scarica, stampa, costruisci e buon divertimento!!!

This model is my free interpretation of the mechanical hammer designed by Leonardo da Vinci.
After putting sand in the upper container, its fall causes the paddle wheel to turn, which in turn drives the mechanical hammer cam.
NO GLUE is needed for part assembly!
2 models in 1! The crank operated mechanical hammer + the sand powered mechanical hammer.
Recreational, educational, enjoyable!
Ideal gift for inquisitive and smart people…
Thanks to the RIP Technology, no glue is needed in order to assemble the model… and you can assemble, disassemble and reassemble the model over and over again.
Funny!
Grazie alla Tecnologia RIP l’assemblaggio del modello è effettuato senza colla… e potrai quindi montare, smontare e rimontare il modello più e più volte.
Divertente!
These paper models are easy to build as they consist of boxes, boxes, and more boxes… For best results, I suggest to use 200 g/sqm cardboard.
Enjoy, and…
