Overview of the Mechanical Giraffe by Tamiya 71105

The Tamiya 71105 Mechanical Giraffe is a Robocraft Series kit that demonstrates basic mechanical engineering through an elegant four-legged walk. A motor drives crank plates that convert rotation into the long-stride motion characteristic of the model.

Styling and visible mechanics

Elongated neck and limb parts use transparent-coloured components to echo giraffe styling while exposing internal hardware. These clear parts make it simple to observe the gearbox assembly and the reverse switch action during operation.

Assembly guidance and best placement

Construction uses screws and snap-fit elements for an accessible build experience suitable for beginners and seasoned builders. For reliable walking performance display the finished model on a level, smooth surface to appreciate its deliberate, long-legged step.
