Also, there are relatively few printed parts and similar sculptural models, without any minifigures, often provide better value. The hexagonal facets of Bowser’s shell is achieved through the use of the 2x3x1 oblique slope element. this is a recurrent elements in the shell, along with the 6×6 circular plate and the dark orange 4×4 domes.
