The Metal Earth models are amazingly detailed etched models that are fun and satisfying to assemble. Each model starts out as 4 inch square metal sheets and you simply pop out the pieces using wire cutters and follow the included directions to assemble your model. The Sago Palm Tree (Cycas revolute) is often called a "living fossil" because it is one of the most primitive seed plants alive today. Its origin traces back to ancient flora of the Mesozoic era more than 200 million years ago. It is easily recognizable due to its distinctive whorled feathery leaves. The model is 0.8x1.3x3.35 inches when built. Difficulty level: Easy. No glue or solder needed.
