I was a fan of minecraft, and it brought me to you through keralis, then I was a fan of rollercoaster tycoon and it brought me to you through silvarret, now I’m a fan of lego and it still brings me to you! If it happened twice id see it as a coincidence but three times!?

[@SacredBricks]

THIS IS SO COOL!!

[@AntBandit]

thank you!

[@commander-fox-q7573]

I love the shaping of the walls in the underwater section, looks so much like what you’d see irl. Amazing work, can’t wait to see more of this project!

[@acresofbricks-adamr5893]

I love hearing your back story! And great build, I’m looking forward to seeing this exhibit develop further!

[@Playmation]

I loved seeing this moc at brickworld ! Thanks for showing us. It’s extra cool now knowing the story behind it. Can’t wait to see the whole lay out one day. Hopefully I’ll be seeing the next exhibit this year in Chicago

[@AntBandit]

Thanks man! We're planning on having two additional exhibits at Brickworld this year if all goes to plan. Hoping to see your diner again there too!

[@ariky123]

Amazing! And for god's sake, this is CUTE AF. I'm in love with Penguins. The architecture is on spot and really gives the perfect feeling of the real penguin section in the zoo. Wish LEGO takes your design and publish it for the open crowd.

[@AntBandit]

Thanks so much!

[@emilee_builds_it]

Soooo amazing! I love the build but I love your love story more! It's so awesome. You two are #goals

Can't believe I'm only now discovering this channel! Adam is such a genuine guy and I love the idea of immortalizing the representation of a first date with a lego build.

[@AntBandit]

Thanks so much!! That means alot 🙏

This is a saweet build! Thanks for sharing that personal connection. I love hearing what inspires the creativity in builders.

[@AntBandit]

thanks so much man! 😁

[@jeffh2616]

Sea World has an otter exhibit with an underwater view. The landscape is rock. You could add a kelp forest to enhance the exhibit.

[@yasirbilloo1143]

Good to see you Adam, been following your Stop motion work since awhile, excellent job with the Penguin Moc!

[@KirkBell92]

How have I never seen this channel before?! Great content and top production value too!

[@fatheranthony4pope]

Looks great. What you need to do now is create the back-of-house keeper only work. Maybe even a platform for a keeper talk. 😄

[@admiralbcd1]

very cool build! I especially love the underwater look of the ice. If you want to expand on the model, I would change the public section. In the current setup, people can only see the penguins underwater, except for the one dome. That seems unrealistic. The upper section should be ground level, and the underwater section a tunnel. But if you plan on building more scenes, than that would be a plus. the side of the exhibit would be 2-level, and can progress through several exhibits. The entrance of the tunnel could be very cool scenery aswell. Nevertheless, congrats! very nice work!!!

[@AntBandit]

Thanks so much!! As for the viewing angle of the minifigs you are definitely correct, but its actually an intentional design! Since this was built with conventions in mind I scaled everything up so that in person attendees would have the best view when looking down at the model on a table. It does require a bit of suspension of disbelief when you realize the minifigs don't have the best view though 😂

[@forwhatitsworth4621]

Wonderful build! LEGO should release a modular Zoo series. Loved you in The Office and The Hangover by the way!

[@dd_zzero6827]

Very well done Adam. Looks awesome! I really like your idea of expanding it into a whole theme park. Looking forward to seeing what is in store for the future.

[@AntBandit]

Thanks so much!

[@deeannhansen1469]

Aww…love the beginnings & the build is amazing!!

[@brickpocalypse679]

A manta ray sort of petting section where you can reach in and touch them would be AWESOME

[@ph03nixflame]

Awesome build, and amazing vibes as well. Showing off the modularity, transportation features, is massively impressive. I'm super excited to see what else comes next! This is a bit of a wild ask, but a custom whale shark would be unreal! Talk about an easy sub, the algorithm worked!

[@AntBandit]

Thank you! Glad the algorithm worked haha. A whale shark is a GREAT idea. Would love to figure out how to make that, exhibit would have to be huge too.

[@YouGoneMad]

What are the Chances that you have a video about that TREE OF SOULS MOC behind you? That looks absolutely STUNNING! I have to see more!

Thats a fantastic idea!! Will definitely have to do a turtle exhibit

[@pALbO2727]

This is so amazing you sold me on the production quality alone I guessed you had around 500,000 subscribers you don’t deserve 11,000

[@kevindrake4529]

I really enjoyed this video and your story about your first date with Emily. What a great idea with the modular aquarium buildings for a park. I hope you consider making some exhibits that we could never have in real life, such as a great white shark exhibit…or a prehistoric sea life exhibit. Just to add a real wow factor beyond what any park or zoo could ever have.

[@andrewromain5526]

Incredible build Adam! I'm looking forward to seeing all your new additions and being an integral part of the PeachLUG Zoo/Amusement Park collaboration we're slowly getting started.

[@AntBandit]

Thanks Andrew!

[@andrearivera4448]

Amazing work! Love love love how the theme of the lego build connects deeply to you and your wife. 🥰Such wholesome content.

Love the penguin display! I got to see It in person at Atlanta Brick con this past weekend. Excited to see what you add to it!🐧🐧

[@AntBandit]

Thanks so much for checking it out!!

[@terracedflame4702]

Wow I'm blown away by the final piece and it was made even more special by your story!

[@hellerart]

Love it, looks incredible. And original Lego with color plague inside. The hero is proud of you! 😉❤

[@cow1]

Really love the exhibit. It reminds me of Penguin from DC. I think there was one of these in the first or second game. I have a small suggestion for the removable door, I recommend piece No: 49307 on top. This'll make it a little easier to open. It looks like you have 2 plates height above the grey bar so It'll fit perfectly in without much modification. Small quality of life improvement. :) One small concern though. I can't tell if it's Dark Tan or Medium Nougat. The piece is available in medium Nougat but not Dark Tan.

[@AntBandit]

Thanks for the suggestion! The color is dark tan, but someone else recommended cheese slopes which would definitely make it easier to open. Thanks for watching!

[@I0Darius0I]

Them Lego penguins be looking like Kanye supporters

[@superiortuba8219]

YO WHAT??? THIS WOULD BE PERFECT ON LEGO IDEAS! I CANT EVEN PUT INTO WORDS HOW GOOD THIS IS

[@SophisticatedWaffle]

When i first saw the thumbnail I thought it was the Krusty Krab.

[@ikarusstudios2682]

This is truly amazing, the colors absolutely pop and you managed to bring the whole thing to life with those swimming penguins. I especially love how you posed the penguins using those transparent specialized stud pieces. Breath taking model, you should be proud.

[@AntBandit]

That means alot! And yes those pieces worked perfectly for posing underwater, will definitely be using more of those in the other exhibits

[@GiGi.Studios]

I love LEGO too ! :D I do make stop motion LEGO animations often ! This build looks killer !

[@JesusSaves4Ever777]

make a water top part with invisable blocks, so when you look from above there really is a layer of water, looking through to the bodem

[@paullempges7860]

Love to see people share both my love for Lego as well as Marine Biology! One animal I would love to see featured are Manatees. Even though I'm from Europe I have a very special connection to these gentle and peaceful animals, as a late relative of mine cared for the Manatees of a State Park on Florida for over 20 years!

[@AntBandit]

Thats amazing! I grew up in Florida and love Manatees, would love to see a molded LEGO Manatee piece released someday

[@paullempges7860]

@@AntBandit Oh that's awesome! Yeah a unique mold would be lovely, but if one foregoes realistic size limitations a bit it's possible and a lot of fun to make brick built ones :)

[@Benzo_2021]

That would be awsome as a real lego set. You should submit it to lego ideas.

@@AntBandit thanks just watched the video. Really much better scale and looks awesome 👏

[@StudSnob]

I love the look and the personal story. It has this freshness and fun! But pls, 6:50 is a lego sin. Use cheese slopes at the top of the cover. That way it will be legal and a truly easy removal.

[@AntBandit]

Thanks so much! And lol, that is so much of a better idea, can't believe I didn't consider that. Will definitely swap out for cheese slopes

[@dgray3771]

When sticking to what animals are abundant and in a crafty way placable the Crocs and Lions are the best choices next? And then perhaps the Elephants. But yes the Lions I think you could do miracles with seeing your techniques. And thinking about it Croc exhibits I have not seen in lego form yet. I am curious. Another outlier would be the Koala. I got the new rescue guy holding the Koala, and the mold for that new piece is impressive. If you want to keep it sea animals then perhaps do a flat fish exhibit, since there are different colors and molds of that. I remember at our national "dolphinarium" there is a plaza with a feeding ground for these animals, that you can buy food for them and feed the fish.

[@robertsullivan3877]

This would make for an incredible build in Lego ICONS. ( Probably an $900.00 set price,but we'll worth it)!

[@BrickAdjuster]

It’s really cool how you made it so easy to take apart your penguin exhibit for easy transport to shows 👍

[@AntBandit]

I learned quickly after building this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYPJdY2rfZahaKc

[@GafferNate]

Have you been to the Denver Aquarium? They have a really fun large Tiger exhibit that is smack dab in the middle! It has a very large water portion and viewing windows where you can watch tigers to play and swim! It is one of the more unique things I have ever seen in an aquarium and might be a fun thing to perhaps incorporate into yours at some point as well!

I went to see the Giant Panda's at Edinburgh zoo and my favourite thing in the entire place was the penguin area. Such cool, fun and funny animals but im sure they say the same about us. Great build, really like the curved inside cave you created

[@xxnekonekox]

I immediately subscribed, Ive always wanted someone to make a more realistic zoo or aquarium out of lego!

[@jackspikes7042]

I loved seeing this in person in Chicago. This is an amazing build. My only suggestion is that the minifigs on the pathway cannot see the penguins on top of the landing. You need a second story pathway so they can see the penguins up top. Most of the penguin aquariums I have been to have two levels of viewing for above and under water. You will want to include this for the other areas as well, for instance the polar bears if you make one for them. Just some thoughts. This is amazing work!!

[@AntBandit]

Thanks so much! Glad you were able to see it at Chicago! And good points about the Minifig perspective. I responded to another comment about this but this is actually intentional due to the scale of the exhibit being designed for real life people looking down at the model on a table. I sized everything up to be more impressive in person at conventions. There is definitely a bit of suspension of disbelief required when you realize the minifigs don't have a great POV of the penguins 😅

[@briqtastic]

Oh myyyy! I really love it. I am a huge penguin fan. Love the swimming penguins
