Physical properties of the model.

So someone has asked for some physical properties of the model.

It has a total of 399 pieces (400 if you include the key that goes in the tongue) This can probably be reduced with some optimization if it gets closer to actually being made.

It uses a total of 65 Types of parts.

The colours it uses are:

• Black (Iron bits)

• Dark Red (Wood Bits)

• Red (Tongue & Roof of the mouth)

• Tan (Legs)

• White (Teeth)

• Yellow (Brass Bits)

The cost for me was about $60 CDN to make all told, but I imagine that this can be reduced when the part count is reduced as well.

As for physical dimensions, it is:

• Width: 17 Studs, 5.3" and 13.4cm

• Depth: 10 Studs, 3.1" and 7.8cm

• Height: 12.5 Studs, 3.9" and 10cm

It weighs about 11 Ounces (oz) or about 304 Grams (g)

If anyone knows of any other physical properties they would like to know, I can figure it out!

Slight Changes to the Design

After talking with many people, and staring at my design, I've made a few changes. I've changed the yellow bits to shiny gold, not that I think Lego would make the necessary bits needed to do it, but it really does look better. I've changed the flat bricks to something that has some texture and makes the whole thing look a lot better. I've changed the latches on the front and that's about it. These minor changes really add to the model.
