Description
An Australian animal in small form
The platypus is an egg-laying mammal from Australia with a flat bill and a beaver-like tail. The model gets by with reddish brown, black, dark brown and dark bluish grey, so natural colours throughout that fit a riverbank habitat. The 36 pieces consist of 17 different elements. There are no minifigures, so it is a pure display and collector model.
To display and to reuse
The set came out in 2017 as part of the monthly mini models. It goes together in a short time and looks good on a shelf beside other animals from the series. The muted colours also suit animal models of your own. The parts list below shows which elements are included, and the muted browns also work for logs or rocks in a diorama.
