Anne Mette Posted May 24, 2015 Since there are so many animals in LEGO Friends, it seems obvious to build a Friends zoo. I got the idea at LEGO Fan Weekend in Skærbæk in Denmark last year where my first Friends MOC “Rainbow Holiday Center” was located next to another Friends MOC, which was a zoo, but just built in a different way than I would do it. Together with my 19-year-old son Lasse I started building the layout between Christmas and New Year. The layout was completed and exhibited for the first time at a Danish LEGO exhibition in the beginning of May. We also expect that it will be exhibited at LEGO Friends days in LEGOLAND Billund 6-7 June.

Yooha Posted May 24, 2015 Oh, lovely! So many details, it took several minutes to watch everything properly. The duplo animals work well with the Friends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L@go Posted May 24, 2015 Another stunning creation from you two. I suspect this is going to show up in Skærbæk in September? Looking forward to seeing it there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legobear Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) Omg this is beautiful . I love the integration of Duplo, Friends, and everything together. It really demonstrates the harmony between the different themes/brand. I hope Lego will add more complexity to "boy's" sets as well. Why does Friends get all the new animals, and all the dining ware with forks, spoons, spatula, baking pan, mixer, and boys are left to wrenches and handcuffs is sad. Isn't this just reverse sexism?? Males can have complexity as well, but there really is no comparison when looking at a Friends' inspired MOC when you realize the choices for animals for a zoo, at least for boys if they stick to non-Friends sets, is very extremely limited. Anyways, I digress. I went over the pictures meticulously looking at the details. You're a creative genius - super uber MOC! With a thousand thumbs up Edited May 24, 2015 by legobear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robinson Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) impressive creations. Normally I'm not a fan of Friends theme but these are awesome projects. Combining of Friends, Duplo and System animals is hard work to do but you're handle it very well. Edited May 24, 2015 by Robinson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lordofdragonss Posted May 24, 2015 Breathtaking MOC man, great job! I know it can be hard, but I sugest putting less animals in cages and make more scenes. The figs look all like robots standing and looking foward... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*thomas* Posted May 24, 2015 Amazing!!! First LEGO Zoo I see I truely like. The only thing I would change is the number of animals in an exhibit. Seems a bit crowded ;). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted May 24, 2015 Wow, this is an excellent park. To mention just one detail: the fountains are great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul_delahaye Posted May 24, 2015 Loving the balloon ferris wheel, I've been wanting to get a few of those balloons, hoping they offer them as a standard Lego City set as well in the futue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legocity2713 Posted May 24, 2015 Wow! That is massive. Great job!!! So many details on a build this big. I especially love fountains and curved rock wall in the Polar Bear exhibit. :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vorkosigan Posted May 24, 2015 Outstanding build! The scope and details throughout are mind boggling. Reminds me a little of playing rollercoaster tycoon, its fun to lay out all the different attractions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steph 104th Posted May 24, 2015 This is amazing, the shear scale and surplus of detail is steller Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted May 24, 2015 This zoo is just amazing, with so much attention to detail. Love all the different habitats, but the brown bear one is my favourite for the greenery, especially the flowers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted May 24, 2015 Awesome family collaborative build. There is so much to see and do. The monorail ride is a nice touch for the mono fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pirzyk Posted May 24, 2015 I also love the integration between all the different lego themes as well as the overall layout. The execution puts it over the top. There are so many interesting ideas, I keep going back looking how different parts were done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roebuck Posted May 25, 2015 A excellent Zoo! Since the friends animals are a mix between Duplo and minifig, I think it works very well to use animals from all three series in a friends moc, at least in this one Hopefully in a not so distant future, it is possible to make the same moc in minifig scale with only minifig animals in it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palixa And The Bricks Posted May 25, 2015 Amazing! It reminds me somehow of the xbox game "zoo tycoon". I especially like the ferris wheel and the monorail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
