When I first saw the photos of Matt’s LEGO room, I felt a little like the fly in this photo. But what if the fly is riddled with parasites? What then? Wait…

Little Bus

Built for my two-year-old son for Christmas. He had so much fun playing with the snow crawler that I wanted to make him something special. He really likes the little lego doors, so I included eight with different surprises behind each one. I used a duplo train chassis so it has power functions that he can control.

I fell in love with the snow crawlers from “The Thing” (2011), so I decided to build one. This is my highest build time to size ratio ever, with over 30 hours going into an 8x14 stud project.
