Mechanical Mimic Chest
You gingerly step through the door. As your torch illuminates the room, the dust and cobwebs make it clear - no one has been here for a very long time.
Your gaze drifts across many jumbled artifacts, long forgotten, to an ornate chest. You are compelled to take a closer look. Before you even realize it, the clasp is open and the lid is rising.
A surprise awaits...
One of my favourite monsters in the Dungeons and Dragons universe, I was inspired to bring the Mimic to life with this interactive display model.
Through of a couple of cleverly designed mechanisms, the chest features teeth, eyes and a tongue that emerge when opened, and retract when closed. You can see a demonstration of it working in the video below.
The set contains 658 pieces. The chest is 10 studs deep, 16 studs wide and 11 studs tall.
