Koi Pond

67 comments
What is it: This design has several parts to it, most resembling parts of the natural cycle of a koi.

Why did I build it: I designed this one off of a design that I made for a challenge here called Celebrate Japanese Culture but wasn't finished in time. So after a few revisions to my previous Koi design, I wanted to change and improve the design to have fewer repetitive parts. Like changing up parts of the lilypads, adding a seedling splashing into the water, as well as adding the diver and little tree trunk scene with a frog about to jump on a small lily pad. There are lots of harder-to-see details as well.

Details: Not all of the details in this piece can be seen from the pictures, so I listed them below:
  • An articulated and base-supported koi fish for play and display
  • A cluster of translucent spheres to represent koi eggs
  • Small fish to represent recently hatched fish
  • Various species of freshwater-related plants, like lilypads, tall grass, algae, and a lotus to name a few
  • A tree stump with plants growing out of it and a frog on top about to jump on a small lilypad that's in a pool of water
  • Air bubble-like pieces, by the koi's mouth and under the lilypads
  • A scene that includes a small diver/explorer, and the golden top half of a diver
  • Little hermit crabs, one in a shell and another in a small pop can
  • Multiple coins were hidden among the rocks at the bottom of the pond
  • A seedling making a splash

There are 1,200 pieces in this design. 

Why I think it'll make a great Lego set: I think this will be a great inclusion to the botanical and nature sets that Lego has been producing.

Thank You!
