I Built LEGO Minecraft for a Real Turtle

This is a tiny Lego turtle and this is a real one wow in this video we’re going to build a Minecraft beach biome using 8 000 Lego I’m even going to surprise Everyone by adding a real turtle and hiding his favorite snacks I’m on a quest to build every biome with

Underwater creatures in Minecraft last week I built the Lush cave for my Axolotl Lucy I spent days creating every element of this biome from Lava Falls to Hanging Vines to various ore I even added a real flowing waterfall and at the end it looked seriously close to the

Game and Lucy loved it but you all thought Harry was missing out so today we’re building an epic Beach biome so he can join the fun Lego has never released a Minecraft biome for Turtles the only official set lacks serious detail if we want this to be realistic we need to

Make it from scratch this is going to be really challenging and I have a challenge for you can you spot these characters hidden somewhere in this video but first we need a game plan we’re going to encase the entire thing in Lego to create a giant Minecraft Turtle stand

Based on my calculations we’re going to need over 8 000 Legos and at around 25 cents per Lego that’s going to be over two thousand dollars box and I instantly fell in love over the years I’ve made him some seriously cool setups but Harry hasn’t had a new

Tank in a while it’s about time we gave him a makeover I have heaps of Lego left over from Lucy’s Lush cave but not enough that look like sand we’re going to need to order a lot more Lego and while we wait let’s go Lego’s only Turtle set this was released earlier

This year and has 46 pieces but it’s missing some key elements of a turtle biome like seagrass and eggs let’s create a miniature version of our Turtle biome so we know what we’re doing when it’s 15 times the size I’m going to start by building out the turtle stand

Wait till you see the fish tank in the center it’s going to blow your mind we ran out of bricks to make the rest of the flippers I just hope they come in time for the big tank now for our tiny tape acrylic is really easy to work with when it’s this small

I’m just hoping it’s this easy when we make our giant tank later on Turtle biomes have these little sand islands where the turtles come out to lay their eggs so we need to build this for Harry now this is looking pretty good but it’s just going to be way too small for Harry

But it is the perfect size for a turtle food bath I give him two minutes to eat as much as he can turtles are notoriously messy eaters so this food bath helps us keep us tanks sparkling clean time’s up and Harry isn’t happy about it but we need to get back to

Buildings over in the office Adam is making great progress so I rebuilt the total from Minecraft out of individual Lego bricks I even built an instruction manual just like real Lego now you know exactly which bricks you need and where to put them let’s get straight into the

Build and start with the face of the turtle head right away we have a problem the Lego spine will need to support the entire weight of our tank our tank is going to weigh over 300 pounds when it’s full of water after a quick test it’s clear

There’s no way this Lego will work let’s make a quick trip to the hardware store for some wood this way we can build a stronger base to support the weight of Harry’s Turtle Island I made this custom Turtle helmet from scoots and of course I had to wear a turtle shell I wonder

What people are gonna think since it’s past Halloween I wonder if this could be a fish tank Some of these boards are warped and won’t work I need straight flanks so our tank doesn’t crack let’s get back to work I swear when I passed Harry’s tank he did a double take these wooden boards are really solid each horizontal 2×4 can hold 300 pounds that means we should now

Be able to support the weight of a leopard seal Now that we have our stand we can blow the Lego up and around it I’m going to create these special Bridges to change the direction of our Lego and while I’m building I want to tell you about flip flip is my ultimate One Stop Beauty Shop with the help of their verified

Authentic reviews I’ve discovered some of my favorite products it’s like having Sephora’s products Tick Tock reviews and Amazon shipping all in one place this is taking ages let’s speed it up the Lego now hides our wooden frame right on time our extra Lego arrived let’s continue building out the shell

Flip makes it easy to search your products based on things you care about I only use vegan and cruelty-free skincare products because I know they’re not tested on animals like Harry my tiny turtle how sweet is his little face our Lego turtle is looking great now we just

Need to build the head and the best part you can earn money from scrolling shopping boating or even posting your own review thankfully leaving a review with flip is easier than this build last week I discovered the elf magnetic mask I unboxed it tried it out and left a

Review on flip you can do it too download flip for free and get 30 off your first purchase using my code below all that’s left to do is create our tank and build our Turtle biome for Harry the size of these acrylic panels make it much harder to work with than our

Miniature model oh man this glue dries really quickly and I think I messed up this panel air bubbles like this aren’t good all we can do is clamp it let it dry and check in tomorrow it’s the next day and after filling it up with water it’s clear there’s a

Pinhole leak in the sea this is not good hopefully my acrylic shop can help me fix this a pinhole leaks are tricky you’re going to need resin to patch the hole now this isn’t a guarantee but it should work I’m going to use this special glue give it some

Time and test again I’m really worried we won’t be able to pull this off for Harry while we wait for our tank to dry Let’s Go to The Lego Store I really want to make these flippers functional I found these little inch pieces that I’m hoping will work I also picked up bricks

For our turtle eggs and this palm tree for Harry time to reassemble our flippers this is taking much longer than anticipated and I’m just hoping it’ll be worth it I didn’t think these would be strong enough but they look awesome they have full range of motion just like a real

Turtle now we need to finish our beach biome I wanted to use Lego inside the tank but decided to keep it more natural for Harry at first I thought I could make this island out of real sand but a Quick Test shows that it won’t hold the

Shape at all instead I’m going to use these small Stone cubes and build it up and after a thin coat of silicone and a dip in some sand we have real Minecraft blocks we have one small problem I don’t really think this through you can’t even see

Inside the tank let’s undo hours of hard work and knock down this side of the turtle shell so we can see inside sorry buddy and we can’t forget the Lego Life the island looks just like a beach buy over Minecraft just wait till it’s surrounded by real water and a real

Turtle and Centerra is a turtle he needs a basking area this will be a little space for him to come out by the water and hang out it’s finally time to fill up our fish tank I’m so excited to see Harry swimming around his little Island I ordered these special plants that look

Just like seagrass hopefully Harry doesn’t eat them all he has a tendency to do that we can’t forget about our Lego palm tree finally it wouldn’t be a turtle biome without a couple of turtle eggs and some sand for the Basking area our tank is cycles and Harry is finally

Ready for his Lego Minecraft vacation look here he goes I have one more special surprise for Harry I made this tiny Lego chest filled with his favorite snack let’s see how long it takes for him to find it he’s spotted the chest but can he get his

Prize Harry is in Minecraft Lego heaven we just spoke to Turtle Beach buy him out of Lego if you want your own WebEx kit make sure to comment subscribe and I’ll see you here next week
