LEGO FORMA 81000 Koï: instructions are available

Remember, a few months ago LEGO launched a pre-order campaign on the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo for the LEGO FORMA 81000 Koi set.

This small box of 294 pieces allows you to assemble a mobile carp and the manufacturer offered as an option three different skins to change the breed of carp or to transform the structure into a shark.

These products were then only available in the USA and UK and many fans resident in other countries could not get this mobile carp presented as a "Premium experience for adults"...

LEGO now provides the assembly instructions for the 81000 Koï set and even offers two templates to cut out the different parts that make up the "skin" of the carp model and the shark version yourself. It's up to you to find the right material for these wrappings and to take out your colored pencils to try to reproduce the official version ...

For all practical purposes, I would like to point out that you will need to find a way to fix the different parts of the skin of the fish in question without the 31 pins (LEGO ref. 6271188) created especially for the occasion by the manufacturer. The more creative among you will find a way, perhaps using pins 6628 in Light Bluish Gray...
