Before Discworld and The Dark Tower, the concept of a world turtle was rooted in mythologies around the world. Sam (dewback_bricks) took inspiration from the Chinese world turtle myth for this evocative LEGO creation that is both an excellent brick-built creature design and a Roman-inspired microscale city. With SNOT modules angled off the grid, Sam achieves impressive curves on the turtle’s back. Hanging vines give the wizened wanderer a nice goatee. A tiny sailboat in the sea of 1×1 round studs really sells the scale of this impressive creature. Perhaps most impressive – Sam built this towering turtle in just two days!
