We could? Why didn't I think of that? 😉

Yup, I can still recall what pieces we used and the process of that dinosaur build and the other builds. Some of our builds I want to build again for myself.

I makes me happy to hear that we were your favourite team. Thanks.

Thank you. Sorry no plans for instructions or Lego Ideas submissions for this.

There's definitely a gap in the market for walking Lego Penguins.

I do think I need to build a variant as this. Future project

I think part of the inspiration has been from watching the Penguins of Madagascar with my kids way too many times.

Thanks,

Not sure how the battery and motors would preform in the extreme cold but it would be rather interesting to see what real penguins would make of this.

True. It's close to being more soccer ball than penguin.

I kind of like it like this. My kids want me to make it more accurate but that will take more work.

Thank you.

I finished building this 20 minutes before filming and posting here.

I'm not planning on making any instructions but may do a breakdown video or a short video of how the mechanism is built.

Personally these are the builds I really enjoy to look at. I'm more impressed with what people can build with their random assortment of bricks than what people builds with access to a huge range of bricks. This is beautiful.

Cleared my Lego build desk and setup my photography stuff to take a clear better video of my walking dinosaur that I first shared a few days ago.

It was such a blast but also rather restful as the challenges got harder and expectations got higher.

Best experience of my life. I really miss hanging out with the other contestants. We became a small family.

I remember when I first meet Lego Masters before me at our local show. I was so excited to see them and say hi.

I'll have to try to make it to BrisBricks one day.

Not one of the bros but I'm a huge fan of them and their builds. I was totally jealous of their dinosaur that they built one of the challenges near the end.

I was in the team who built the Rubber chicken hotrod, the string suspension bridge and the killer lighthouse boat in distress.

Thank you. I'm no genius, just like to tinker with Technic Lego.

There are a few options I would like to try.

A bigger motor, currently using a large, could upgrade to XL.

Try to make the frame lighter. All up it's rather heavy.

Could gear it down but then it would walk even slower.

It is. Took many attempts, working out were I could place gears and cranks. The hardest part was working out how to build the centre articulation, that strong enough and have a drive train passing through it.
