HI there,
I am wondering since you are sold out if I could buy the instructions? I am 10 yrs old and have thousands upon thousands of legos. My grandparents buy them at garage sales. I want to build this for my Dad for christmas! He will love it and totally loves Legos!!
Thanks
Justus
PS this Christmas has to be handmade (moms orders!)

Are the antlers tan? the 2nd color that comes up in BrickLink? The first is white, then what looks like the color you used. Thanks!

Right yeah, I just meant if you know how big a LEGO piece is, you can work out how large the whole kit is. I’m ordering all the parts off BrickLink, where all the parts are readily available. The antlers are #88292 which is rare, but not so rare that there aren’t thousands available.

I wouldn't use the phrase "standard LEGO pieces", although I understand what you mean about size, because I just evaluated the model in relation to the several buckets of parts that I own, and realized that I have few, if any, of the parts used to build this model (going by the colors in this photo). The parts in the antlers, especially, and backing, less so, look either hand-carved or derived from limited-edition kits.

Hey, if anyone in the Mission wants to carry these, I’d be thrilled to wholesale them.

I shoulda included a size comparison photo somewhere. It’s standard LEGO pieces, so it just about fits in the palm of your hand.
