Tamiya 71105 Mechanical Giraffe Walking Kit  [71105]

Tamiya 71105 Mechanical Giraffe overview for builders

The Tamiya 71105 Mechanical Giraffe joins the Robocraft Series as a hands-on model for hobbyists wanting to study simple machine movement. Its four-legged walking mechanism converts motor rotation through crank plates to create a smooth, long-legged gait that demonstrates basic mechanical principles.

Build details and aesthetics

This kit uses elongated neck and leg elements in transparent-coloured parts to echo a giraffe motif while letting builders see moving components. The clear pieces reveal the gearbox layout and the reverse switch so you can observe how the drive system operates.

Assembly tips and display notes

Assembly combines screws and snap-lock parts for a straightforward build that suits beginners and more experienced modelers alike. Once assembled, place the model on a flat, smooth surface for best performance; its slow, extended stride makes it a striking display piece for a shelf or STEM demo.
