Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do. As Julie Andrews said in the Sound of Music, "once you have these notes in your heads you can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up." Ugears is proud to introduce the second DIY musical instrument in our collection—the Mechanical Celesta. Like the Ugears Hurdy-Gurdy, the Mechanical Celesta is both a wooden mechanical model and a functional musical instrument. UGears 70178

Top fuel dragsters are the undisputed kings of the dragstrip. Able to accelerate from 1-100 mph in under a second, with 5 G\'s of force at launch (more G\'s than an F-18 catapulted off the deck of an aircraft carrier) and top speeds of 335 mph, top fuel dragsters are the automotive epitome of technology, power and speed. With their long dragonfly-like bodies, fiery exhaust plumes, large top fins, and parachute-aided stops, these iconic racers have long fired the imaginations of everyone who loves fast cars, a good head-to-head battle, and a touch of crazy.

The Retro Car UGR-T is a stylish new addition to Ugears\' ever-growing collection of historic and modern cars, racers, motorbikes, trucks and other outstanding automotive DIY models.

This vintage model pays homage to the dawn of the automobile age.

Ugears\' team of engineers and designers have developed a special, classic car model to take you back to that age. Outstanding features include the functional convertible folding roof with fabric overlay; latching cab doors that open to the front; the hood that opens on both sides, revealing a functional 4 cylinder engine with crankshaft; a skeuomorphic pendulum that simulates the sound of a rumbling motor; front wheels that turn using the steering wheel; and a spare wheel mounted at the back.

The Marble Run Spiral Hoist is the fourth model in the Ugears collection of fascinating DIY wooden mechanical marble runs. The hoist has two types of rails to speed the ascent: the main spiral rails and vertical rails. Turn the crank to lift the colored glass marbles upwards (one marble rises per nine revolutions of the winding crank) to the three-marble storage up top. UGears 70177

The Old Clock Tower mini-model by Ugears brings a charming medieval atmosphere into your home or office. This beautiful DIY wooden clock tower model is a mechanical mechanism in the form of a tower with clock face, moving gears, a moving pendulum, whimsical characters, and a weather vane on top. Scroll the large gear to set the hands of the clock, the pendulum, and the weather vane in motion. UGears 70169

This old-timey truck sure is pretty to look at, but it\'s not just for show. The Ugears Pickup Lumberjack is a working truck with a job to do, and that\'s hauling wood (or hay bales, or work tools—whatever you can imagine)! Based on the popular 1959 Chevrolet 3100, the DIY wooden model features a 1m x 7mm spring motor (same as the powerful Ugears Drift Cobra) allowing the Pickup to travel up to 6 meters and haul loads of 400 - 450 g in the truck bed. The winding knob is stylized to resemble a custom open top air filter emerging from the hood. Lift the hood to reveal the beautiful V8 engine firing away! UGears 70171

The fun with marble runs continues with Ugears\' Marble Run Tiered Hoist, the third in a series of Ugears modular marble runs. This unique entrant in our growing collection of entertaining wooden marble runs features a 3-tiered stair lift that raises the marbles to the top for amusement park adventures. This wooden DIY kit is both a 3D puzzle and a fun toy. The Marble Run Tiered Hoist features a fascinating lift, three new track elements, and interesting trap and release mechanisms sprinkled throughout. Turn the hand crank and watch the marbles make their journeys through various obstacles down to the collection tray below. Multiple tracks and elements are packed into a compact space in this well-designed DIY marble run. UGears 70170

The Wright brothers got it right. When these talented bicycle mechanics set out to build the world\'s first motor-driven, heavier-than-air airplane, they needed wings that could provide enough lift, yet be light and strong. They went with a biplane design, seen in early hang gliders. Biplanes have two fixed wings, one on top of the other, connected with supporting struts; the bracing permits a lighter wing structure. WWI flyers took to the skies in biplanes, and while the Red Baron is known for his iconic crimson triplane, most of his decorated combat career was spent in biplanes. Advances in aviation technology and materials made the biplane obsolete by the late 1930\'s, however, biplanes remain a fixture and fan favorite at airshows to this day. UGears 70159

The Clockwork Universe theory favored by 17th C deists held that the Earth and the heavens, and all their motions, were like a giant clock, with God as the Clockmaker. Newton\'s three laws of motion and the principle of universal gravitation were thought to be sufficient to explain phenomena of any kind, using mechanical conceptions. At Ugears we love mechanical conceptions! And so with a nod to Isaac Newton, we present the Sky Watcher Tourbillon Table Clock, a fascinating combination of imaginative celestial observatory and functional table clock! UGears 70162

We know you love car modelling and you love the Ugears Dream Cabriolet, Roadster, and U-9 Grand Prix. Well, make room on the shelf, because a powerful new mechanical model just muscled its way into the Ugears Automotive collection. Introducing the Drift Cobra Racing Car, a beautifully-styled, two-seat convertible—our twist on what may be the most revered sports car of all time: the Shelby Cobra 427. The Cobra 427, produced between 1965-67, had a 7.0 litre 450-510 horsepower engine, did 0-60 mph in just over 4 seconds, and had a top speed of 185 mph. UGears 70161

Bring back the romance of train travel in a bygone age with the Steam Express 2.5D picture puzzle from new Ugears collection. This DIY 2.5D wooden picture model shows a classic steam locomotive and passenger carriage from three perspectives, each with mechanical elements. Inspired by the luxury passenger trains of the early 20th century, with its elegance the Steam Express is a beautiful static display piece that comes to life with its moving parts. UGears 70207

Next up in the exciting new line of Ugears 2.5D puzzles, Classic Vehicles collection, we present the Zeppelin—the world\'s first commercial aircraft! Inspired by German airships from the early 20th Century, and named after German inventor Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, this DIY 2.5D wooden airship model has movable elements and comes in its own frame, suitable for hanging on a wall or placing on a desk or shelf.

Let\'s talk cars. Because cars are cool, and the coolest of the cool might be the sports coupe: a sleek and stylish two-door car designed for high performance and driving enjoyment. Often built with a low, wide profile, sports coupes typically feature a powerful engine, sport-tuned suspension, aerodynamic design, and other performance-enhancing features that prioritize speed, agility, and handling. You don\'t buy a coupe for its fuel economy or trunk space, you buy it because a) you love to drive, b) you want to make a statement, and c) the cool factor. And nothing is cooler on a car, or makes a bigger statement than gull-wing doors! UGears 70205
