Tom Alphin‘s The Lego Architect deserves most of the credit for this build. I started with his design for a neoclassical dome and thought I would modify it into a turtle shell.
As I pieced it together, I fell in love with the textures and shape. I was also pleased with how I could play with colors to create more visual depth.
I’m hoping to take what I learned from Alphin to work on my own dome design.
Although conceived as a land turtle, when I found these “flippers,” I couldn’t resist.
A salmon and orange underbelly finishes it off and brings in the brightness I initially planned to highlight the shell.
