The Centuries-old Battle for Freedom by Ugears. Assemble me. Let honor and strength prevail!

The Centuries-old Battle for Freedom wooden 3D puzzle symbolizes the ancient struggle of Ukraine for independence and freedom. This mini-model is a proud part of the new exclusive Ugears Age of Bravery collection dedicated to the Ukrainian nation, and above all, to Ukrainian warriors throughout history.

The entire world knows about the full-scale war that russia started against Ukraine in February 2022. However, not everyone knows that this is by no means the beginning of the confrontation, nor is it the first time we've had to defend ourselves against our belligerent neighbor. For centuries, the russians have tried to conquer and destroy the Ukrainian people. In the 17th and 18th centuries, brave Cossacks rallied to defend Ukraine from the russian empire. Cossacks were Ukrainian warriors who at that time were among the most professional warriors in the world. It is to this chapter of our history that we dedicate The Centuries-old Battle for Freedom mini-model.

The Centuries-old Battle for Freedom mechanical mini-model consists of two Ukrainian Cossacks beating a two-headed chicken with their mace and saber. The Cossacks symbolize courage and the fight for freedom, and the two-headed chicken symbolizes the coat of arms of Russia back when it was an empire. A handle located in the middle activates the mechanism. As you move the handle left and right the Cossacks take turns beating the chicken over the head. The chicken itself toggles back and forth, senseless, with no way to escape its fate.

The Centuries-old Battle for Freedom 3D puzzle, like other mini-models of the exclusive Age of Bravery collection, assembles easily in about 30 minutes. The puzzle has only 41 parts, laser cut on a plywood board, from which they are easily removed and connected to each other. You don't need glue or any other additional tools, while illustrated, step-by-step instructions are included in 11 languages—Ukrainian, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean—to help guide your build. Our outstanding support team is ready 24/7 to troubleshoot or send replacement parts free of charge should you accidentally break a piece during assembly.

The model kit comes with an exclusive surprise—a Fidget Trident. This miniature fidget model by Ugears is an original souvenir with simple mechanics and a lug for hanging so it can become a stylish keychain. The trident is the coat of arms of Ukraine, a symbol of its strength, freedom, and indomitable spirit.

You too can feel like a real Ukrainian Cossack with The Centuries-old Battle for Freedom mechanical wooden puzzle. This mini-model will appeal to hobbyists with an interest in history, and to anyone wanting to show their support for Ukraine, for the Ukrainian people, and the Ukrainian army.

Needless to say, the Cossacks win their metaphorical duel. In the same manner, Ukraine will prevail in the current fight. We hope that you, our fans around the world, will support our country by ordering and assembling Ugears puzzles. Please know that a portion of all sales on our international website goes toward Ukrainian relief.

Glory to the armed forces of Ukraine! Glory to Ukraine!

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.

Carroll Shelby, a former race car driver and automotive designer, was hired by the Ford Motor Co. to develop a high performance racer able to compete with the dominant Italian race team of Ferrari. The Americans' four consecutive victories at the prestigious Le Mans 24-hour race between 1966-69, in Ford GT40s, is the stuff of legend. More recently, it was the subject of the Oscar-winning 2019 film, "Ford v Ferrari," starring Matt Damon as Shelby and Christian Bale as Ken Miles, the ace driver for the 1966 Ford team. The success of the cars coming out of Shelby's surfside Venice, California shop were the crest of a wave of American high performance supercars or muscle cars, characterized by powerful V8 motors placed into relatively lightweight, mass-produced, rear-wheel drive chassis. The Shelby Cobra stands out as an American icon, perhaps the greatest muscle car and most "posterized" car in history.

Designed for drag racing but street legal, muscle cars offer incredible automotive power at a relatively affordable price point. The scarcity and unbelievable auction prices today of some of these classic street beasts is due in no small part to the fact that they were often more car than their owners could handle, resulting in frequent crashes. Muscle cars have squared off in many an illegal street race, sometimes with ownership papers on the line (another way to lose your muscle car!). In that spirit, why not convene a gathering of model building friends, show off your newly-built Ugears Drift Cobra Racing Cars, put your car modelling prowess to the test and race for pinks! But remember: the first rule of Ugears race club is: you do not talk about Ugears race club. The second rule of Ugears race club is: you do not talk about Ugears race club!

Driven by a powerful spring motor, the Ugears Drift Cobra racing car has the fastest team of horses under the hood of any mechanical wooden model we know. The model is wound by means of a ratchet knob under the chassis. Before winding your 3-D wooden Drift Cobra model racing car, move the air filter that protrudes from the hood toward the windshield, and flip the switch in front of the passenger-side seat into the Lock position (parallel to the door). Now twist the ratchet underneath the car's body. After 6 to 6.5 turns of the knob the spring is fully loaded, and — vroom! vroom! — your racer is ready to roar! Set the gear shift lever, located between the driver and passenger seats, to the desired position (Reverse, Neutral, Drive). To start the model, set it down on a flat surface, slide the air filter forward, and watch your Cobra lay rubber in a spin out (start with the wheels turned to one side), do circles, or speed down the track in a straight line.

We think this 3D puzzle / DIY model is a beaut, with its fat tires, bulging curves (thanks to pieces that are precision laser-cut into fine 1mm plywood), a big open mouth up front, and open-air convertible design. This wooden car's moving parts include turning front wheels, doors that open, and a hood and trunk that can be raised. Instead of a rubber band motor we've used a powerful spring mechanism to provide the "muscle" in this racer and extend the model's usable life. The ratchet mechanism means you don't have to hold the knob the entire time you're winding the model—potential energy is stored with each twist, without slippage, until the strong internal spring is fully loaded.

To put the model in "drift mode," turn the front wheels fully to one side or the other, set it down on a smooth surface such as tile, and watch as the model peels out in a sideways skid (ideally, your model should make a half to a full revolution before continuing forward, depending on the driving surface and turn angle of the wheels). When the wheels are set in their straight position, the model covers a lot of ground—8 meters or more! Set the wheels in a gentler turn, or put the racer down on a less slippery surface, and watch your Drift Cobra complete two or three full circles.

The DIY model kit for the Drift Cobra Racing Car includes 370 parts, with an estimated assembly time of nine hours, and is rated Advanced level. Why not take a page out of Carroll Shelby's book and experience the pride and satisfaction of building a beautiful, functional automotive machine with your own hands. Everything you need for this challenging but doable DIY wooden puzzle project comes right in the box: high quality plywood boards with precision laser-cut pieces that you snap out then snap together without need of glue or special tools, a metal spring that powers the mechanism, and of course a set of detailed, illustrated instructions in 11 languages.

Ugears model kits appeal to builders and hobbyists who love quality, clever design, and who appreciate ingenious mechanical elements with real world analogues. The Ugears Drift Cobra Racing Car is a great DIY idea and perfect gift idea for the car lovers among your circle of friends and family. Anyone who loved the film Ford v Ferrari, who loves car modelling, DIY projects, 3D puzzles, or who appreciates outstanding mechanical and aesthetic design, is going to love the Drift Cobra Racing Car.
