A display tray to hold the models from the Lego Insect Collection. The tray can be used by itself, but I've also included a Multiboard-compatible mount so it can be mounted as well.

The tray is designed so that the top of the model base fits mostly flush with the lip. The "octagons" on the lego set have two different edge lengths and the interior shelf of the tray has corresponding long edges and short edges. The model should sit flat when it's aligned correctly. The OUTSIDE of the tray, however, has eight equal edge lengths so it can fit in any orientation in the holder.

The holder is designed to use with two Multiboard push-fit snaps. It's 13.5mm tall and is tapered so the tray fits inside it securely without any fasteners. It's also offset from the board by about 25mm so the beetle's giant wings clear it. As you can see in the last picture, it's top-heavy and I have to hold it on my sample board tile. As such, I'd strongly recommend securing it to a Multiboard that is wall-mounted, pole-mounted, or cleat-mounted, NOT one that uses feet.

For additional security against overzealous dusting, I use museum putty to hold the models in their trays, and more museum putty to hold the tray in its holder once I have it aligned in a way I like.
