After the release of 31213 Mona Lisa earlier this year, 2025 will see Leonardo da Vinci get another one of his creations in brick-built LEGO form. In particular, it'll be a brand new LEGO Icons set of 10363 Da Vinci's Flying Machine which has been officially presented today. The 18+ model will retail for $49.99 / €59.99 / £54.99 with a total of 493 pieces once it releases on the 1st of January 2025 alongside plenty more LEGO Icons sets.
Da Vinci was not only a painter, but also a draughtsman, engineer, scientist, theorist, sculptor, and architect. The Italian was a man of many talents and around 1485 he took on the challenge of creating his own Flying Machine. Being inspired by the fight of birds, Da Vinci created many designs for his best machine yet but never resulted in a fully functional model, mainly because it relied on human muscle power to move the wings and generate enough lift.
Hundreds of years later and 10363 Leonardo da Vinci's Flying Machine replicates Da Vinci's design for a flying machine in brick-built LEGO form. The 18+ model includes an expertly built-mechanism that enables the texture-covered wings to move. The wings are a light tan colour and use a specialised fabric piece just like the tail of the flying machine. These are then all attached to the thin wooden structure of the flying machine in the usual fashion.
All of this is placed on an 18+ black stand to easily display the Flying Machine. A single Minifigure can also be placed in front of the black stand of an exclusive version of Da Vinci himself. Along with new printing on his legs and torso, he also includes a quill and sketch as accessories. An information plaque is not included but a print with the words 10363 Leonardo da Vinci's Flying Machine can still be seen at the front of the display stand.
