so instead of naming is magic … just call it really advanced science 😉

the greeks were really good at making stupendously good clockworks/calculators for tracking the position of heavenly bodies.

What if they were a bit less superstitious and actually understood what they were doing and embraced that ?

even the steam engine wasn’t a ‘new’ concept.

Move the invention of a bit of tech a few decades/centuries earlier and the entire world changes.

There were mechanical calculators and the theory of computing before we had the technology to make it practical.

To say nothing of how various wars have helped accellerate technology.

Da Vinci had some pretty good ideas … Imagine if some his ideas had taken hold and become just that bit more practical to execute?

I’ve decided to stop argueing with my machines and gave them one last chance at making stuff work.
As a result I think I got enough of an idea to make my 1:1 scale work. If all goes according to plan I will be using less material than initially planned, which cool. I am going to need a lot of paint though.
