Kaamelott, the Quest of the Holy Grail

Just sharing a quick animation done to show the Technic under the hood of the second scene of the diorama...

When Arthur prepares his return to Brittany, he organises a giant casting… Asking everyone to prove its worth as a knight by whatever means. While some managed to get away with a low-grade achievement, some -like Lancelot- decided to fight a flame throwing dragon-.

Of course, the dragon had to be able to tilt towards the knight while the latter swooshes his sword towards the dragon.

Here, this works with a simple system of turning gears, the last one connected to a wormscrew slowly lifting up a small liftarm to move the hinged platform on which the dragon stands.

Since centuries, a sword is stuck in a rock; the one who pulls out the sword will be crowned king. Arthur, supported by Merlin and the Lady of the Lake, is the only one who can pull out Excalibur.

Here, this “magic” works thanks to a system of wormscrews, turning gears, themselves connected with rubber liftarms which maintain the sword into place like pliers: turn the button to free the sword, and crown Arthur King!
