Just to add a real wow factor beyond what any park or zoo could ever have.

    very cool build! I especially love the underwater look of the ice. If you want to expand on the model, I would change the public section. In the current setup, people can only see the penguins underwater, except for the one dome. That seems unrealistic. The upper section should be ground level, and the underwater section a tunnel. But if you plan on building more scenes, than that would be a plus. the side of the exhibit would be 2-level, and can progress through several exhibits. The entrance of the tunnel could be very cool scenery aswell. Nevertheless, congrats! very nice work!!!

    • @AntBandit
      @AntBandit  Рік тому +1

      Thanks so much!! As for the viewing angle of the minifigs you are definitely correct, but its actually an intentional design! Since this was built with conventions in mind I scaled everything up so that in person attendees would have the best view when looking down at the model on a table. It does require a bit of suspension of disbelief when you realize the minifigs don't have the best view though 😂

    I loved seeing this in person in Chicago. This is an amazing build. My only suggestion is that the minifigs on the pathway cannot see the penguins on top of the landing. You need a second story pathway so they can see the penguins up top. Most of the penguin aquariums I have been to have two levels of viewing for above and under water. You will want to include this for the other areas as well, for instance the polar bears if you make one for them. Just some thoughts. This is amazing work!!

    • @AntBandit
      @AntBandit  Рік тому

      Thanks so much! Glad you were able to see it at Chicago! And good points about the Minifig perspective. I responded to another comment about this but this is actually intentional due to the scale of the exhibit being designed for real life people looking down at the model on a table. I sized everything up to be more impressive in person at conventions. There is definitely a bit of suspension of disbelief required when you realize the minifigs don't have a great POV of the penguins 😅

    Really love the exhibit. It reminds me of Penguin from DC. I think there was one of these in the first or second game.
    I have a small suggestion for the removable door, I recommend piece No: 49307 on top. This'll make it a little easier to open. It looks like you have 2 plates height above the grey bar so It'll fit perfectly in without much modification. Small quality of life improvement. :)
    One small concern though. I can't tell if it's Dark Tan or Medium Nougat. The piece is available in medium Nougat but not Dark Tan.

    @dgray3771 Рік тому

    When sticking to what animals are abundant and in a crafty way placable the Crocs and Lions are the best choices next? And then perhaps the Elephants. But yes the Lions I think you could do miracles with seeing your techniques. And thinking about it Croc exhibits I have not seen in lego form yet. I am curious.
    Another outlier would be the Koala. I got the new rescue guy holding the Koala, and the mold for that new piece is impressive.
    If you want to keep it sea animals then perhaps do a flat fish exhibit, since there are different colors and molds of that. I remember at our national "dolphinarium" there is a plaza with a feeding ground for these animals, that you can buy food for them and feed the fish.
