Description
This dinosaur model brick kit holds all the micro-sized bricks you need to build your own Diplodocus, from its long, arching neck and ridged back to its tapering tail. The bricks are a soft grey, with white picking out the underside of the neck, the belly and the feet, so the finished model reads clearly as the much-loved long-necked dinosaur. Every brick is ABS plastic, a hard, smooth plastic that clicks together firmly and holds its shape. The kit measures 13.6cm long, 6.3cm high and 4cm wide and is very light, so this is a compact, tidy build rather than a sprawling project.
Once built, the Diplodocus stands on its own four legs, so it makes a cheerful little model for a desk, a bookshelf, a windowsill or a bedroom shelf. It is a toy to play with as much as a piece to keep, and putting it together is a calm, absorbing way to pass an afternoon, working through the step-by-step picture instructions that come with the bricks. Because the bricks are so small, the build rewards a little patience and a steady hand, and there is real satisfaction in watching the neck and tail take shape. It sits happily beside books, plants or other small models.
The bricks press together and pull apart again, so the model can be taken down and rebuilt as often as you like. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth or a small soft brush that reaches between the studs, and wipe any grubby brick with a damp cloth before letting it dry. Keeping the bricks and instructions together in the box between builds means nothing goes astray. As a gift, we think it is just right: small and light enough to tuck into a parcel, and it asks for nothing more than a clear table and a little time.
