Wild Animals: Rhino and Bird (LEGO 31171)

About this set

This is LEGO Creator 31171 Wild Animals: Rhino and Birds, a 780-piece scene set at difficulty 3/5. The main build is a grey rhino with three small birds standing on its back, set in a small scene with plants and a water pool; the palette stays in grey, green, blue and brown, and the water and foliage keep it from feeling like a lone animal model. It is a 3in1 set, so the same parts can be rebuilt into different models. When building, lock in the rhino's torso and leg supports first, then sort out the back and the birds' footing, and add the plants and pool last so nothing falls apart when you move it. The rhino's bulk comes from large grey masses, while the birds are tiny, so sorting by color helps. It suits builders who like animal subjects and want a Creator set that displays on its own, and anyone who has done smaller sets and wants to try a 780-piece build.
