With months of work now complete, LEGO Masters US Season 2 winner Mark Erickson has debuted an absolute monster of a build. This massive construction is taken right from the film series Dune, featuring a massive sandworm (or Shai-Hulud) staring down members of the Fremen and protagonist Paul Atreides huddled around the rocks. A studs-not-on-top technique brings the sand sea of Arrakis to life, and the massive worm is kept upright thanks to an inner skeleton made of Technic.
I love the use of headlight bricks to make footprints in the sand. The coloration of the crag in the background from the angle below is wonderful, making excellent use of the rare sand red pieces and their limited part palette.
And here’s a close-up of the Shai-Hulud itself. The beast is an octagonal tube, shaped with wedge plates and tiles in dark tan. I love the ring of inward-facing claw pieces that make up its monstrous mouth!
