Leonardo da Vinci's armored car was the precursor to the modern tank incorporated a turtle-shaped shell ringed with cannons. Inside eight men powered the tank by turning cranks. The sloped armor-plated roof kept the men safe by deflecting fire as they navigated through dangerous battles.

The scientific genius of Leonardo da Vinci is brought to life through 10 articulated models. The inventions that inspired these snap-together replicas are taken from the pages of da Vinci's priceless and awe-inspiring notebooks. All models are made of plastic and require no special tools. Manuals are very educational and teach how these inventions have evolved into what they are today.
