Automata Paper Machine Model Combo Kit – Flying Dreamer + Contraband Cat designed by Keith Newstead

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.

Flying Dreamer :
George Wright is a crazy inventor who spent every day in his shed hammering, sawing and drilling. Everyone in the village laughed at George because none of his inventions ever worked. One day, George took to the skies in a flying machine and laughed back at the villagers before embarking on a round-the-world adventure.
