With lots of friends on Flickr pursuing a broad variety of geeky pursuits other than LEGO, actual LEGO models that look like their real-world inspirations sometimes slip past. Peter Reid‘s series of turtle robots are certainly adorable, but putting one of them in a disassembled state on what appears to be a plastic sprue is positively mind-blowing. Even the tools are brick-built.
Thanks to Ed Diment for making sure we corrected this miss.
Yeah, saw this a little while back and didn’t even notice the tools the first time. Seriously one of the most ingenious concepts not only that I’ve seen, but seen done so well. Strong work!
