Drafters are 30-60-90 degree triangles and can produce some neat patterns. The examples that follow are all grid based. From left to right, duck, meerkat and electric eel.

Three ducks can be assembled into boomerang arrangements. These can be placed adjacent to one another within a concertina strip. Ducks in light grey and gold on the outer edges are reflected tiles.

The concertina strips can be shuffled around to create subtle variations.

Meercats produce a ‘ring’ around an offset central six-pointed star resulting in a regular hexagon – very nice. Colours denote left and right versions.

The electric eel tessellation is comprised of jagged orbs of both non-reflected and reflected tiles intermixed with six-pointed star-like motifs (only one completed).

Within the same pattern, there are also large regular hexagon clusters that overlap. The one in dark grey is constructed differently to the other two on show (which are 180 degree rotations of each other).

I used the Polyform Puzzle Solver by Jaap Scherphuis for all of these. An application I have been using for many a year, thanks Jaap.
