Description
This sausage dog model brick kit lets you build a proud little dachshund from small plastic bricks, one stud at a time. The finished dog is worked in glossy black, with bright orange on the muzzle, chest and paws and a dot of orange at each brow, picking out the classic black and tan look. A neat row of studs runs the length of its back, and it stands four-square on stubby legs, with the long body and short, pointed snout that make the breed unmistakable. Once built, the model measures 8.4cm long, 3.2cm wide and 5.1cm tall, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand.
Because it is so compact, the finished sausage dog fits almost anywhere: on a desk beside the keyboard, along a bookshelf, on a windowsill or a bedside table. The build is half the pleasure. This is a toy for quiet, absorbing play, the kind of project you settle into on a rainy afternoon and return to between other jobs, and the result is a characterful model worth keeping on show afterwards. It makes a cheerful little gift as well, easy to wrap, and a fun change from flowers or a card on their own.
The bricks are made from ABS plastic and fit together stud to stud, and the kit comes with a numbered, illustrated build sheet showing each stage and the bricks it needs. Work on a tray or a clear table so no small pieces wander off, and sort the black and orange bricks into separate piles before you begin. Once your dog is standing, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth or brush to keep the studs crisp. Stand it beside a favourite photograph on a shelf, or give the boxed kit as a small treat for a quiet evening in.
