Biography
Leonardo DaVinci
Leonardo DaVinci's IQ has been estimated to be somewhere between 260 and 320. He was not only a brilliant painter, pioneering bold new styles and methods for painting portraits, he was also a medical practitioner, a military strategist, an environmental scholar, a naturalist and a mechanical genius and inventor.

He was the first to come up with ideas for such things as scuba gear and submarines, helicopters, military tanks, a robot, and a whole host of machine components that are still in use today. In fact, the car you ride in every day has more than a few parts that Leonardo DaVinci would recognize as his own work. Truly, he was one of the smartest people who ever lived.

-----------------------------------------------

We've taken a small portion of his works, and decided to bring them to life for kids, historians, hobbyists and anyone else who has an interest in following the footsteps of this giant mind. Our models are as true to the concepts Leonardo created as we can make them, while still maintaining our comittment to quality, value, durability and ease of assemply for our customers.

We hope you'll enjoy some or more of these models. They're truly museum quality pieces that can be put on display in your own private Leonardo DaVinci exhibit.
