LEGO Ideas 21320: Dinosaur Fossils is one of the two sets that I ever bought from a LEGO store. I quite enjoyed the build, but it’s been a few years already. So I decided to disassemble it to free some shelf space to display new sets. I think this blog is a good opportunity to post a small photoset of the set so that I can at least remember it this way.

First Display with Lights

The set looks great, but unfortunately, I don’t have the shelf space to display them all on one shelf.

When I first built it and put them on display, I also bought some portable lights on eBay. They are not great but still add more to the displayed set:

Especially in the dark, they look much better:

New Look with the Under Cabinet LEDs

I also bought larger LED lights that can come with stickers so they can be affixed to the top of the shelf as well.

Under Cabinet LED and remote control

They can be controlled via a remote control which is great. The only problem is they run with 3 AAA batteries. If you use many of them, that makes a lot of batteries!

In the end, I believe they look much better.

I think they look the best and scariest under red light. But the other combinations aren’t bad either:

All dinos under white light

And here are some more focused shots:

Conclusion

Today is the last day of my dino exhibition. I’ll disassemble and up everything back in the box. I hope at some point I get to build and display it again.
