About the work
You can see that the author built a park on a huge green building base. The editor visually inspected the size of the base to be 50×64 particles. The park is bright green and surrounded by red-brown fences. There are a series of facilities for dog activities in the park, such as tracks, tunnels, obstacles, and training equipment. There are some linkage structures between the raised bottom plate of
and the uneven park. When we put the dog part on this fixture, turning the turntable at the bottom of the picture above can drive the fixture in the runway to rotate in circles (isn't it a bit like the catapult on the aircraft carrier).
The lever in the picture above can control the dog's training around the pole. This dog park work focuses on functionality rather than ornamental . Players can control dogs to "run" through various obstacles to complete survival activities. Among them include picking up balls , jumping over obstacles obstacles, passing through tunnels , rapids slalom and crossing ramps.
This project uses existing parts that the LEGO Group proposed to use with a new printed design. The author did not disclose how many parts were used in the creation. The biggest highlight is probably the author’s newly designed dog print. Can you recognize all six types of dogs?
*Look how the author himself describes it:
The idea is a combination of two wonderful hobbies: Lego and dogs.
There are these games in it:
Get the ball (throw the ball and spin the wheel with the purple handle to collect the ball)
Jump over the obstacles (move the yellow handle and push at the right time)
Go through the tunnel (spin the red handle to pass faster)
Slalom between the poles (move the magenta handle and follow the curvature of the track)
Cross the ramp (use the blue handle to compress the spring and then release)
My goal is to create a set of lego dogs that are also the focus. I hope you like it.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have more types of LEGO dog models to choose from?
Summary
A very interesting work with very high playability. Similar to the censored foosball table. The editor hopes that this work can be approved. After all, there are too many sets that are mainly for viewing. It is time for us to add some play sets.
