Red Knight


Size: 18 x 6 x 30 cm
Crank mechanism

The horse rears and the knight raises his sword ready to fight - until the crank is turned.

The model works in the same way as "Roland of Bremen". The rotation of the handle is converted by a crank slider into the movement of horse and horseman. The horse rears, the knight straightens up in his saddle and raises his sword. The left foreleg of the horse and the sword raising arm are moved by strings.
