UGEARS Dream Cabriolet VM-05 Build & Review - Amazing 3D Wooden Mechanical Model
#ugears #ugearsmodels #woodenmodels
Hello and welcome to this build of the UGEARS Dream Cabriolet VM-05. It's an ingenious 735-part wooden model made of sustainable plywood that fits together without glue. There are many moving parts and the model is powered by an elastic band motor. I focus on the trickier parts of the build and show the model in motion at the end of the video. I also include a brief review of the kit.
I did focus part of the video on the building of the functioning V8 engine complete with working crankshaft, and the fitting of the working gear selector mechanism, which is important to get right.

Unlike models with simple static displays, each UGEARS model is capable of a unique range of self-powered movement, using rubber band motors and fascinating systems of gears, flywheels, weights and gravity. There are no batteries or cords-these machines work all on their own! And there are over 90 models to choose from!
Every UGEARS model embodies simple engineering principles that make assembly and play an exciting, educational game, bringing you hours of pleasure and fun.
Made of art-quality plywood, each model assembles easily without the need for glue or special tools. UGEARS model kits arrive at your door with everything you need for assembly right in the box. All steps of the assembly are described in color diagrams and detailed, step-by-step instructions in 11 languages (English, German, French, Polish, Spanish, Ukrainian, Russian, Italian, Japanese, Chinese and Korean). Customer service is available 24/7, with spare parts provided and shipped free of charge.
The models shown in this video are rated by the manufacturer as for ages 14+.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a thing of beauty!!!! Top job man!!!!!!!!
Why, thank you Sir! It does look rather nice sitting on the mantle! Cheers, brother! 😎🙏👍
fantastic model . engineering is brilliant 👍
Many thanks, Dom! Yeah, I can't get my head around how they worked all those gears out! Cheers, mate! 🙏😎👍
Great video.. Very cool car. Seems well designed.. Thanks for sharing..👍
Many thanks, bro! Yeah they must have put a lot of thought into this one, took ages to build but I love the end result! Thanks for watching! 😎🙏👍
Great build mate! Some marvellous design and detailing there. All looks very therapeutic. Cool! 😎 👍 👍 👍
Thanks muchly, Sir!👍 I must admit I did enjoy the build process and it's glorious to look at now it's done! Yeah, the easy bits were therapeutic!! 🤣 Cheers mate! 🙏🤗👍
What a great job you done Mark 👍 the car looks beautiful 😃
Thank you so much, Kim! 😀It took a long time to build, but was worth it in the end! See you soon, mate! 😎🙏👍
Nice car. Thanks for the detailed documentation. So many great details and functions🤩🤩🤩 In the meantime after your last video about these kits I builded a marble run of this kind and were amazed. Wish we would have the space for more of those models😉
Hello dirk and many thanks for tuning in my friend! Yes, the details on this model are incredible! So cool that you have also built a mechanical wooden model - they look good, work well and even smell nice!!! Best regards from Mark... 😎🙏👍
This is definitely different 😮 very nice model for sure great work
Thank you very much, Fonzie! Yep, it's good to have a change every now and then! Cheers! 😎👍
These are a modellers dream and the attention to detail is second to none - especially the inclusion of the miniature toolbox and jack. I really like little touches like that. Very impressive build mate...😊👍🏻😊👍🏻.
Couldn't agree more, dude! Yeah this is the most detailed one I've done, and the more detail the better and the more intricate the build - as you say, a modeller's dream! It really is a struggle to get some of the parts together though, it took all my strength and then some, and I've got strong fingers... Thanks for watching, pal, always appreciated! Cheers! 😎🙏👍
Hi there Mark, oh wow! What a beauty! Looks so 50’s / 60’s 😊😊😊so many great little features on the mode, and all in wood and mechanically operated and that transmission lever on the steering boss, so awesome. 😊😊😊best wishes to you and the family 😊😊
Many thanks, John! Yes it's definitely of that period I would say. It really is a pleasure to build, I reckon you would enjoy doing one mate. Different to RC but a good work out for the brain and fingers, all the same! Best wishes to you and yours, my friend! 🙏😎👍
These aren't for me but WOW, the detail is amazing! Love the finished article!!
Hi Glenn, yeah I know, not everyone's cup of tea but a great display piece all the same. Thanks a bunch for stopping by! Cheers! 😎👍
These builds are so cool!
They are, dude! Thanks for watching, mate! 😎🙏👍
What a great job you did of recording this video while building a very complicated kit! I find it hard to believe that the designers had the audacity to include so many long, bendy shafts and linkages as well as so many friction-inducing features such as the V8. I think the chances are that the laser-cut surfaces are far more slippery than the flat faces of the wood. I love the way the designers took advantage of the difference in mechanical properties here, and in aesthetic properties when creating the two-tone colour scheme of the body. Congratulations on the build!
Hi Del and many thanks, I really appreciate your kind comment! It was a labour of love, I must say, as those wooden pieces take more force to press together than you might imagine! But it is a very satisfying process and very therapeutic, too. The laser cut parts are incredibly accurate and yes, I think the cut edges are smoother and harder than the plain wood. Glad you enjoyed it, my friend, hope all is good with you and yours! Cheers! 🤗👌👍
@@MarkBryanRC It really is a lovely thing.
I’m on page 14 and got stuck with how to do some of the steps on that page and am so grateful for your video!! Thank you!
Hi Brittany. You are so welcome! Thanks for taking the time to write this comment, I'm so pleased that the video was of some help! 😎👌👍
You got to appreciate the quality and engineering that goes into the making of these models they really are great, thanks for your upload mate 👍🙏🐈 just blown my mind...
Thanks so much for tuning in to this non-RC content, Cat! But yeah, the design of this thing is incredibly complicated, it's amazing it all functions in the end! I sure blew my mind too, mate! Cheers! 😎🙏👍
WOW who ever made this thing thought of everything it's crazy!!! Nice build and showcase Mark!
Too right, Steve, I was amazed that I managed to get it all working, it's one tricky sucker to put together! I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment - THANKS! 😎🙏👍
Wow, what a superlovely construction... 👍👍👍
Thanks! Yes, it really is a great kit to put together and looks amazing when finished and on the mantlepiece! 😎👌👍
Splinter time 🙂700 parts Wow. I can see it was a more complex build over the other kits, but it looks fantastic. Love all the working parts, windows and gears are the best.
Thanks Mal, but luckily I got no splinters! Yes, this was the most complex of the lot and took some thinking to get it right. The way they have designed all the moving parts is truly amazing. I was surprised I managed to get it all to work properly! Cheers, mate!
It turned out really cool looking! I have looked at kits like this at the hobby shop multiple times but never got one. I think I need to pick one of them up next time I am in there. It does look like fun! I had thought about trying one of the balsa planes like Rob and Nanni have built but this looks a little on the more robust side and less fragile with working on it with my fat sausage fingers!! Great job Mark, really cool conversation piece for sure!
Hi Addam and thanks, I'm glad you like it too! I definitely recommend this kind of kit, but you do need some spare time, a precious thing I know! The Winter would be a good time to tackle one of these kits. You will need those sausage fingers (like mine) as you really need some force to get the parts together, you'd be surprised at just how hard you need to squeeze! It's looking pretty on the shelf right now - cheers! 😉🙏👍
@@MarkBryanRC LOL! Yeah, one more thing on the list won't hurt! LOL! Every now and again I get a little burnt out on plastic parts metal screw and stinky paint so having one of these to do as a break may be a good idea! I will probably start with a smaller one, slightly less involved and see how it goes before committing toa full car like this. Our hobby shop has a bunch of them to chose from!
Same here, mate, a wooden kit makes a nice change, with the bonus of a lovely smell for a change, the wood smells so good! 😅👌👍
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks! 😎👍
Ive been eyeing a lot of these ugear sets, especially even more since youve been showcasing them. A working jack!?
Hi Rex, yeah these kits are really good and a nice change from RC. One would be good for a winter project! The jack is so cool 😎 but the working gears are astonishing! Cheers dude 👍 👌
Looks like a 58 Chevy impala convertible
Cheers, Thad, i think you might be right, it's a cool cabriolet for sure! 😎👌👍
@@MarkBryanRC has Plymouth fury tail lights on it though.
Amazing Mark! These kits are fabulous and I can really appreciate how detailed they are! Need to look at see what lovely models they have 🙌🏻
Many thanks, Craig! Yeah, they do all sorts of kits, from marble runs, clocks and trains to trucks and cars. It would be a great project to do with Madge! Cheers, mate! 😎👌👍
Thanks Mark, that was very useful. I recently built the Roadster (which is fabulous) and this will be my next one. I build radio models like you but these make a truly refreshing change. You're right though; definitely not to be hurried. Ever thought of sticking a motor and a steering servo in one? Anyway. Great vid'.
Thank you very much, Graham, glad to hear it was helpful! I haven't had the pleasure of building the roadster yet. Agreed, these kits are a super distraction from the usual RC car build. I did ponder fitting some RC electrics in one of these wooden models, but after the driveshaft snapped on my spring powered Cobra, I thought better of it... I don't think the thin wooden mechanics are up to the job!
Ah, yes, you're probably right.
