About this creation
Here is another animal creation! I am getting quite addicted to making animals just as MortalSwordsman said. "Be careful these types of creations can be quite addictive." They are just so much fun! At first it was just a dolphin, jumping out of the water, then my dad had a great idea. To make the dolphin jump through a hoop! So that is what I did. Special thanks to Dad, Nathan Oh , Christopher Baldacci , Max Pointner , and Ian Spacek for giving me advice! Thanks! Flick through and most important, Enjoy!
I will now let most of the pictures speak for themselves, although I will say something every now and then.

Waves made from the splashes. I quite like them! I hope you do to!

One of my favorite pictures

Another favorite picture. I was experimenting with iPhoto, and tried to create this picture, which is the dolphin going through the hoop in a fog.









Nathan helped my on how to make these too Quidditch Match pieces to connect, while looking good. I think he did a great job, don't you?!!!




And finally, the explosion.
Don't forget to rate, comment, and SUGGEST!
SOLI DEO GLORIA!

Woah. This is by all means magnificently stunning. Using the Harry Potter Qudditch hoops as the hoops was a brilliant idea, and the dolphin is also very nice. The transparent peices to show the water flying about kind of adds a magic touch. |

Your Dad had a great idea the addition of the hoop gave this MOC an added edge---it brought it to life as did your water! Your execution of the dolphin is wonderful it's like you were at "SEA WORLD" in Orlando and captured the moment on film! Your father's participation in this show how LEGO can bring families together and even us "old" folks enjoy LEGO! |

Beautiful colors and shaping here! My only suggestion would be to add tiles to the studded parts, since dolphins are very smooth. |

Amazing Matthew! The hoop is a nice idea but I would have liked to have seen a photo without it so it looks like it's in the wild. Also a little work is needed where the tail meets the body the slope looks a little bit harsh, try using a 3 long slope instead of the 2 long at the top of the tail to make the slope look more organic. Hope this makes sense, it is a great creation and I really like it, but it could be improved upon ;-) |

I haven't really had the time to stop by and look at this until now because of our Internet problems, and I am amazed at this, the dolphin is amazingly detailed and I like the water coming off of the dolphins tail, just like a real picture. Infinity/5 ~Ma$on Mc]{echn!e~ |

Nice piece of work here. I like the addition of the hoop. Wouldn't be the same without it. The water work is well done, especially the white parts, gives a very convincing splash effect. |

There are dolphins in the sea by house and this one looks just right. I like the way that's it's not massive and other folk could make their own. Thw water coming off the tail is good too. |
