LEGO® Mini-Wheel Model Maker No. 3

Description

The smallest box in the run

With 67 parts, No. 3 sits below No. 2 with 74 and No. 1 with 87. The numbering in the name therefore says nothing about size, and that is exactly what makes the range interesting to collectors: every number has its own assortment. Put all three together and you have a small archive of the early Mini-Wheel idea, with short parts lists that are quick to compare and show at once how the boxes differ. That keeps the range easy to oversee and pleasant to collect.

Black, red, yellow, white

Black leads the colours, followed by red, yellow and white. That recalls the first box, only weighted differently, and gives a bold palette for simple vehicles. The dark parts form the chassis while the bright shades add accents to the body. With so few tones the set mixes well with other early bricks without the result looking busy. This difference shows up above all when you compare the colour shares of the individual boxes.

Seventeen types, no frills

Only 17 different types are packed into the 67 parts. That is a low figure and means most shapes appear several times. For building it gives even-looking models, and for collecting a short, clear parts list. If you buy a second-hand copy you can run through it quickly and see from the quantities whether anything is missing. The list below shows each type individually with its count and image. That saves time and stops you from buying a part twice.

Small but complete

Despite its size the box is a full set that suits display or use as a source of parts. Add it to your collection and ask “What can I build?” for models that come together with other bricks. That turns the smallest box in the range into a starting point for simple wheeled models that need little space and go together quickly. Beginners in particular find an uncomplicated way into the early style of building here.
