Lego Atlantis: Rise of the Dread Colossus
My twin brother and I designed this Lego creation for Eurobricks Forums’ “Design a Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) Set” contest (www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=52691). The goal of the contest was to design a D2C set in the Pharaoh’s Quest, Atlantis, or Ninjago theme. We chose to create an Atlantis model since that was the theme we had the most of on hand.
