Tamiya 70266 Walking Brachiosaurus: A Unique STEM Experience
The Tamiya 70266 Walking Brachiosaurus kit offers an engaging and educational experience for model builders and dinosaur enthusiasts alike. This model stands out in the Tamiya STEM Series with its thoughtful design and ease of assembly, making it an excellent choice for those interested in hands-on learning about mechanical movements and dinosaur anatomy.
Innovative Design and Materials
This kit combines transparent plastic and poplar-type wood to create a visually appealing and functional model. The transparent components allow builders to observe the internal mechanisms in action, while the wooden parts are easy to modify and decorate, providing a personalized touch to your creation.
Mechanical Features
The Walking Brachiosaurus features a pre-assembled plastic gearbox with a built-in motor, simplifying the construction process. With a gear ratio of 288:1, the model moves at approximately 1.8 cm/s, offering a steady pace that mimics the gentle loping motion of a real brachiosaurus. The linkage and crank mechanism effectively animate the forelegs, head, tail, and hind legs, bringing the dinosaur to life.
Educational Value
This model is not only entertaining but also educational, providing insights into basic mechanical principles. It is suitable for children and adults interested in exploring STEM topics through a hands-on approach. The challenge level is rated at 3 out of 5, requiring moderate skill and attention to detail during assembly.
