Description

A Santa to stand on the shelf

This is a display model: you build a Father Christmas figure out of bricks and then give him a place on a shelf, a desk or an Advent wreath. There is little to play with, but it works as a small gift under the tree or something to bring along as a thank-you. With 74 pieces the build takes about half an hour, and even inexperienced builders can finish the figure without a long slog through the instructions.

Red, white, black and a touch of brown

Red, white and black are the colours of Santa, and that is exactly where this set starts. A little reddish brown adds wooden looks or small details. The four main colours make the figure instantly recognisable, even from some distance. If you like, you can later turn the parts into a red hat, a present or a small reindeer detail. The colour mix suits almost any Christmas decoration you might already have on display at home.

Twenty different parts

There are only 20 different parts among the 74 bricks. That means many elements appear several times, which gives the build a clear rhythm and makes the set especially tidy for beginners. At the same time, the red and white bricks come in good numbers and are easy to reuse in other models, for example in a car body or a small house. Red and white bricks are needed in many collections, so they make a sensible addition to your basic stock of everyday building elements.

Building on after the holidays

When the festive season is over, you do not have to leave Santa standing for ever. The parts list on this page shows each piece with its colour and quantity. “What can I build?” checks which other models can be put together from your bricks plus these 74 pieces, for example a car, a small house or an animal in red and white. That way the little set stays useful long after the holidays and does not disappear into a box for eleven months.
