Time 4 Machine are exclusive mechanical models made of metal. Each model can be assembled from parts that come in a set. Each model comes with detailed instructions for building. All you are going to need to create a true masterpiece are pliers.
On June 27th 2017. Time 4 Machine, a Ukrainian team lead by Denis Okhrimenko, starts a 30-days crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter.com
Denis Okhrimenko, the creator of Time 4 Machine is also the creator of the famous UGears, the wooden constructors that had a very successfull Kickstarter campaign in 2015. Denis left UGears last year because of disagreements with the investors. He then moved from wood to metal, and created Time 4 Machine – kit models made of metal.
“For about 4 years I have been working on the development of mechanical models from plywood. And my previous project Ugears was a success. I chose metal and had to reconsider the whole concept. This material gives more possibilities for precise mechanics, but the main goal was to make the assembly easy for anybody, and it was achieved.
I always loved creating mechanical machines, ones you build them and they start moving – you feel this amazing feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction” – says Denis.
There are 4 beautiful Time 4 Machine models:
– The Glorious Cabrio.
It appeared in a daydream. Basically, if it was static and allowed for no movement whatsoever, it would be beautiful to look at, but it moves! It even has an active transmission. You can switch between first, second neutral and reverse gears, a cardan, a suspension, and even an autopilot mode. So, the car can actually turn the steering wheel itself!
Model dimensions: 214*72*51 mm
Number of parts: 205
– The Marvel Tank
This is a peaceful tank, came down to us from the pictures of battles for beauty and grace. When you open the lid you will find a mechanism which starts the tracks. There is a speed control lever and there are also levers to turn off one of the tracks, making the tank spin!
Model dimensions: 170*77*58 mm
Number of parts: 250
– The Mysterious Timer
This vintage mechanical clock can be wound up and function for an hour. This is a timer for accomplishing tasks that rings at the end of the given time. Though there is a risk of losing time contemplating the workings of this captivating mechanism, c’est la vie… Beauty is a cruel mistress.
Model dimensions: 107*80*161 mm
Number of parts: 135
– The Medieval Hockey
This will probably be the first table hockey machine you assemble yourself. Once completed the next thing you’ll want to do is invite your friends over to start playing! Only this time you will not have the usual hockey players on the field, but real knights in armour and casques. A team of knights with “buckets” on their heads playing against the team of knights with “kettles” on their heads.
Model dimensions: 277*196*94 mm
Field dimensions: 220*170 mm
Number of parts: 175
The crowdfunding campaign with a goal of $15 000 will last for 30 days and the first mass produced Time 4 Machine models are expected in December 2017.
