By Denys Krasnikov / May 7, 2019

A Ukrainian model-making startup, Time 4 Machine, has raised more than $430,000 on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter to produce its metal, mechanical models. Far above the initial $15,000 target, the money was pledged by 2,800 backers from all over the world.

The company has created a range of functioning, mechanical models that are made almost entirely from metal and can be snapped together without glue. The models, which include a steam locomotive, tractor, plane, and even a working clock-timer are constructed from metal cogwheels, struts, and panels.
