Tamiya 71121 - Two-Legged Wind-Up Model

The Tamiya 71121 model is a practical assembly kit aimed at hobbyists and learners. It features a two-legged walking mechanism powered by a wind-up generator, and can be assembled to walk in styles resembling an ostrich or a duck for added variety.

Movement System and Power

This kit demonstrates basic mechanical concepts such as linkages and gear ratios during assembly. The hand-cranked generator supplies the movement, allowing the walker to travel forward or reverse when the crank is turned. A 50cm lead attaches the generator to the robot so you can position the power unit separately.

Educational Value and Display Options

Well suited to educational activities and home hobby projects, this kit promotes hands-on learning about motion and energy conversion. The two bird variants give a small element of customisation for display or supervised interaction.

Specifications

  • Material: Plastic components

The kit is suitable for youngsters aged around 10 and above, with adult help recommended for younger builders to manage small parts and tricky steps.
Assembly time varies by experience, but many hobbyists complete the model in an afternoon session when following the instructions carefully.
Yes, the completed walker makes a clear demonstration piece for lessons on mechanical movement and energy conversion, provided it is handled gently.
