LEGO SET 31128 - Alternate build | Dolphin and Turtle

June 18, 2025

Diving into the depths of imagination, the Creator 3-in-1 Dolphin and Turtle set invites builders to explore a world far beyond its namesake creatures. With its sleek curves and versatile pieces, this set becomes your palette for crafting everything from majestic sea serpents to prehistoric island scenes. Picture the sunlight filtering through crystal-clear waters as a school of brilliantly colored fish flits by a coral reef you’ve meticulously assembled. Or imagine a steamy tropical isle rising from the waves, complete with lurking predators and hidden coves waiting to be discovered.

What makes 31128-1 so special is its thoughtful color scheme—soft blues, warm tans, and gentle greens—that easily translate to land, air, and underwater themes alike. Whether you’re drawn to the elegant lines of a humpback whale or the spindly, intricate legs of a jumping spider, the element selection in this set encourages experimentation. Swap out flippers for wings, fins for frills, and let your narrative take flight (or dive) into realms both familiar and fantastical.

As you sift through your pile of dolphin-blue plates and turtle-green curved slopes, consider how simple part swaps can transform a playful critter into a menacing anglerfish or a mythic sea serpent. The thrill lies in the unexpected: turning a turtle shell into a chameleon’s back, or a dolphin’s nose into the prow of a prehistoric plesiosaur. These alternate builds not only sharpen your architectural eye but also foster a sense of storytelling—each MOC becomes a character in your custom LEGO ecosystem.

Below, you’ll find twenty inspiring models crafted exclusively from the pieces of 31128-1 Dolphin and Turtle. Click each image to dive into detailed instructions, and let these creations spark your next aquatic (or terrestrial) masterpiece.
