We have arrived at the end, the automata is done.

And it is BIG, in the wing down position the model is just under 15 inches tall, with the wings raised, we are measuring right around 20 inches.

I do believe that this model is more "geared" to those who have paper modeling experience.
If the kit would have been bought for a kid, and parents would help, without any prior paper crafting or model building experience, they will have a very hard time assembling the kit.
I am not even sure what the right glue would be in order to build the kit would be. I have used 5 different glues, from clear ones to a glue stick.

If you are fan of automata or Leonardo da Vinci, this would be a worthwhile addition to your collection.

I hope you have enjoyed the trip back in time, and I hope you might consider building this yourself.
