Bring mechanical engineering to life
Build an elegant fusion of nature and machinery with the MJI 13086 Semi-Mechanical Dragonfly building set.
Constructed from 866 interlocking pieces, this detailed model transforms the graceful form of a dragonfly into a striking mechanical creature with exposed gears, articulated legs, metallic detailing and four translucent wings.
Once assembled, the model measures approximately 37 × 34 × 24.5 cm, creating an impressive centrepiece for a desk, shelf or display cabinet.
Motorised flapping-wing mechanism
The included motor powers an internal system of gears, axles and linkages, creating coordinated movement through the dragonfly’s four wings.
As the mechanism operates, the translucent wings move in a rhythmic flapping motion. The visible mechanical components allow you to see how the different parts work together, making the completed model both a decorative display and an engaging kinetic build.
Integrated LED lighting
Built-in LED lighting adds an atmospheric glow to the dragonfly’s mechanical body and transparent elements, enhancing its futuristic appearance in darker surroundings.
The motor and lighting are powered through the included battery power pack. Penlite AA batteries are required to operate the electronic functions.
Detailed mechanical design
Metallic silver, gold and blue elements give the dragonfly an industrial, steampunk-inspired finish. Printed decorative components, translucent wings and exposed Technic-style construction add depth and character to the completed model.
The combination of mechanical movement, lighting and insect-inspired design makes this set ideal for fans of robotics, kinetic models, science fiction and mechanical creatures.
The set is supplied unassembled and includes an illustrated step-by-step building manual.
