Welcome to Brian Law’s Leonardo Da Vinci Models
The site is devoted to the reconstruction of some of Leonardo da Vinci’s most innovative mechanical designs, I say reconstruction but there is no actual evidence that any of these designs were ever constructed in Leonardo’s time, but the designs have been recorded in his journals have been preserved in the Codices held in libraries across Europe and America. He was a brilliant man described as an Artist-Engineer and Inventor, his interests were tremendously varied ranging from Medicine, Anatomy and Geology, so the area that this site concentrates on is the mechanical designs that he proposed in his journals and collected together under the Codex Atlanticus. This Codex contains many fine examples of his inventive mind, the quality, and detail contained in the drawings help those following his ideas to bring them to reality. If you are interested in the broader span of Leonardo’s life and works you should have a look at this wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci
