Barkdoll places his octopus next to his treasure chest.

Barkdoll poses with his model of an octopus breaking into a treasure chest full of gold. His model won him a spot in the finals of the Legoland Master Model Builder competition.

Robin Dodd puts the finishing touches on his design.

Although he did not make the finals, Dodd came close with his model of a parrot complete with flapping wings.

Rob Howland searches to find the Lego pieces he needs to complete his treasure chest.
