This comically tiny EPIC battle between the mighty Kraken and an unfortunate vessel comes to life by turning the crank. This and several other alternate themes are meant to serve as inspiration for what a Lego fan could do with the Lego Ideas’s proposed set: Clockwork Aquarium. Please free support/vote for this idea at: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/fa8f5… If it gets to 10K supporters/voters, Lego may turn it into a real Lego Set and then you too will be able to Release the Kraken!!
This variation features:
- A Sweet Mini Kraken – this took me quite a few iterations and I’m really happy with how this tentacled, spooky-eyed, sharp-beaked “monster” came out.
- Micro Ship – this also took a lot of tinkering to develop as I needed it to be both small and detailed. The canons on one side and windows on the other were a last minute addition!
- Underwater and above views – I added clear blue windows under the normal clear windows to create an underwater and above water look. There are plants, the majority of the Kraken’s body, and even a crab down below, and the ship, kraken’s tentacles and beak, cloud, and mountains above water.
- I also developed a new way to hold the poles to the mechanism down in the cabinet. This made it so their was no extra length of pole sticking up above the fish and the boat!
I hope you like this theme and please do support the Clockework Aquarium!
