Lego Technic

Lego Technic is a terrific range of very detailed models which have moving parts and are generally more difficult to build. Some of the simpler models within the Lego Technic range can be built by children from about 8 years old. Many of the more complicated vehicles may need some assistance from an adult.

Lego Technic, although having some relatively straightforward models in the range also cater for those teenagers wanting to stretch themselves with the more complicated vehicles, many of which have well over 1,000 pieces and in some cases, a staggering number of over 2,000 pieces as in the multi-purpose Mercedes-Benz Unimog U400. This vehicle features a pneumatically powered articulated crane, working grabber and winch, which is powered by Lego Power Functions. There is steering, 4-wheel drive and suspension, and the engine works with moving pistons. This superb example of Lego Technic can be rebuilt as a Snow Plough.

The kits within the Lego Technic range are designed to be built by children who have a good knowledge of Lego, and who are happy to spend time on each model until it is complete. Although complex, they are a wonderful way of spending a wet weekend.
