Tamiya 70264 Walking Tyrannosaurus - Hands-On STEM Model

The Tamiya 70264 Walking Tyrannosaurus delivers a practical way to learn basic machine principles through assembly. Its mix of wooden components and transparent plastic gives builders a clear view of the mechanism while remaining approachable for hobbyists and supervised younger builders.

Visible Mechanisms and Construction Details

The kit stands out by combining poplar-type wood panels with see-through plastic so you can observe internal parts in motion. The plastic gearbox arrives pre-assembled and includes a built-in motor, which shortens build time and reduces complexity for first-time constructors.

Learning Potential and Display Options

This Walking Tyrannosaurus functions as both a demonstrative learning model and a display piece, teaching simple gear and motion concepts. It runs with a gear ratio of 280:1 and walks at roughly 4 cm/s, while the wooden shell invites painting and custom finishes to personalise the model.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: Length 312mm, Width 86mm, Height 158mm
  • Materials: Transparent plastic and poplar-type wood
  • Motor: Built-in with plastic gearbox
  • Challenge Level: 2 (out of 5)
  • Assembly Time: Approximately 90 - 120 minutes
The kit is suitable for older children and hobby beginners when supervised; the pre-assembled gearbox reduces tricky steps and makes the build more accessible.
Yes, the poplar-type wooden body accepts paints and markers well, allowing you to personalise the dinosaur for display.
Flat, firm surfaces like hardwood, tile or laminate give the most reliable walking action. Thick carpets or very uneven ground can slow or stall the model.
Plan on roughly 90 to 120 minutes for assembly, depending on experience and whether you add paint or custom finishes afterwards.
