Reconnaissance Crawler (Qiji 41112-6)

About this set

This is the Scout Crawler from KEEPPLEY's Ultra Combinable series, set 41112-6, listed on the box at 126 parts and 6+. The finished model is a four-legged crawling mech in beige, grey, green and red, with the green and grey body carrying most of the mass and red picking out the weapons and small details. The interesting build decisions sit at the joints: each leg attaches to the torso through a ball joint, so you can angle the limbs into different crawling stances, while the back mounts a quad-barrel cannon and one side carries a red laser sword, letting you display it geared toward either close combat or firepower. Difficulty is rated 2/5 and at 126 parts it goes together quickly; build the torso first, then the four legs, and save the cannon and sword for last, making sure each ball joint is pressed fully home or the legs will sag when it stands. It belongs to the Ultra Combinable line, whose selling points include 3-in-1 combining, 12-in-1 super combining and a 6-in-1 squad, so if you plan to complete a combiner, pick up the series by number in batches. A good fit for builders aged 6 and up who want a small mech they can pose without a long parts count.
