Move like a real Koi Carp

20 April 2022

Do you know the LEGO® Creator 3-in-1 set: Majestic Tiger (31129)? Then you surely knew that you can build a Koi carp with it. And wouldn't it be great if this Koi Carp could also move like a real fish? That's what Jason of JK Brickworks thought.

By building some extra LEGO® parts in and underneath the fish Jason made sure the fish can move in a nice and realistic way. Previously Jason had motorised the Shark from the Creator 3-in-1 set (31088). So when Jason saw that the Big Tiger set could also be used to build a Koi carp, Jason knew there was a new challenge for him. The techniques he had used for the shark were further refined in this version so that everything moves even smoother. This construction can be controlled by hand but you can also use a LEGO® motor to move the fish. Do you want your Koi Carp to move like this as well, then you can find the parts list below. And maybe you can use the same technique to make another LEGO® building move.
