Eugy Pachycephalo 3D Cardboard Model Kit
Eugy models are a range of highly collectable toys, beautifully designed in New Zealand.
Building these cute and adorable 3D animals is straightforward but absorbing. It generally takes 20-30 minutes to do.
Each pack contains seven pieces of cardboard and a tube of PVA glue.
1) Push out the numbered cardboard pieces and lay them out in order in front of you.
2) Start with the central piece (L1 or R1). Insert the crossbar (but don't glue it) and, using it as a guide, and glue on the next piece (L2 or R2). Layer up the pieces in numerical order, putting a little glue between each layer. It's a little fiddly but also very satisfying as you see the animal taking shape. Take care to put the pieces on in the right order as once the glue sets, you can't rectify any mistakes.
3) When you've finished one side, turn over, push the crossbar through and layer up the other side.
When you've finished, you will have made a good, solid animal with lovely detailing. So the koala is grasping a piece of eucalyptus, the whale is spouting a plume of water, the rabbit comes with its carrot.
Age suitability: 6+ although younger children may need a little adult help to get started. We have found though that adults also enjoy making them, so buy one for all the family and enjoy a good family bonding session (sorry for the pun).
Sustainable. The cardboard can be recycled. The glue is water-based and non-toxic. The ink is rice-based. They are working on making the plastic glue tube and eyes more eco-friendly.
Not for children under 36 months. Small bits. Choking hazard.
£5 for orders under £100, free for above £100.
Three options:
1) Postage by Royal Mail's Tracked 48 service which aims to deliver parcels in two working days. Our post office is shut on Mondays and Sundays, so we don't ship on those days.
2) Evri delivery to one of their parcel shops. Please use this service if you are not going to be in to meet the postie or you have not got a safe place for the postie to leave your parcel.
3) Pick up from our shop in Lyme Regis. Free but please give us a couple of hours after ordering before coming in.
We try to reuse as much packaging as possible. Your parcel will be securely packed but probably not very elegantly.
In theory, everything available to buy on this website is in stock. We are however a very small shop and we try to stock a huge range. This means that we will rarely have more than one or two of each toy or clothes size in stock. Occasionally though we do get orders and we can't find the items. Often it is my fault, having I made a mistake when checking goods on arrival into the shop or when stocktaking but sadly we are also noticing more items simply missing from the shelves.
So please accept our apologies if you order something and we can't fulfil your order. The website is set up so that we don't actually take your money until after we fulfil your order. You will not pay for anything we don't have.
