Timberkits Medieval Mayhem Automata

I've always admired Peter Markey's kits and these follow the tradition of well-made kits that go together accurately and are fun to operate.

The media could not be loaded. Very clever automoton. Turn the handle and watch the medieval mayhem. Really great gift for children and adults. I put one in my husbands Christmas stocking. All beautifully thought out with proper wood glue and good clear instructions. Just make sure you keep the elements in the numbered sorting tray until you need them!

Excellent kit for children aged 10+ to do by themselves or 7+ with help. These Kits are brilliant for engineering skills or just fun and achievement. You can paint them first or just make like we did. The lady is on the phone of problems. We visited the home of timber kits and similar models in north wales

Good to make. Take your time.

lad loves it. Although needs a bit of help as gets fidley. Decorate and paint before putting together also, sounds stupid but some things you just don't think of haha. Good fun to do together

Kept recipient busy and quiet for hours

Lovely kit, lots of things moving in different directions! Took 2 adults 2 hours to make; instructions were good. Tips: use the wax on any moving edges/parts where they will touch, it really helps. Ensure the 3 cams are at 120 degrees - we didnt realise and put the second one in at 180 degrees (opposite) to the first, then realised there was a third one... If you twist the rubber bands (making a figure of 8) it reverses the direction of some parts.

Well produced kit that arrived promptly. My 10 year old grandchild had great fun assembling it.
