<p class="first last">A lego alpaca I reverse engineered and built.</p>

<p>For the birthday of my girlfriend I was looking for a LEGO alpaca since she loves alpacas. (Un)fortunately, I could not find any LEGO alpaca set. (except for the <a class="reference external" href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=65405pb03&amp;name=Alpaca%20/%20Llama,%20Friends%20with%20Dark%20Azure%20Eyes,%20Black%20Nose,%20and%20Tan%20Muzzle%20Pattern&amp;category=%5BAnimal,%20Land%5D#T=C">minifig sized one</a>, but that was not what I was looking for) So I decided to build one myself. Since I had limited time (her birthday was coming up), I decided to reverse engineer an existing alpaca. I found a good looking one on <a class="reference external" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/lkb669/alpaca_forever/">Reddit</a>:</p> <div class="figure align-center"> <img alt="Lego Alpaca" src="/images/lego-alpaca/alpaca1.png" style="width: 400px;" /> <p class="caption">The original alpaca I found on Reddit.</p> </div> <p>After some fiddling around with Lego studio, I came up with the following design:</p> <div class="figure align-center"> <img alt="My Lego Alpaca" src="/images/lego-alpaca/my-alpaca.png" style="width: 400px;" /> <p class="caption">The alpaca I built.</p> </div> <p>You can download the instructions and the LEGO studio file here:</p> <ul class="simple"> <li><a class="reference external" href="https://franky.codes/downloads/paca-lego.pdf">Instruction [PDF]</a></li> <li><a class="reference external" href="https://franky.codes/downloads/paca-lego.io">LEGO studio file [IO]</a></li> </ul>
