New Lego Stuff

This is what I am entering in the Lego Castle building competition in this months Lego magazine. I call it Knight-Mech. My first one did not turn out good because the arms and legs were not posable and it was more boxy. The five winners will win a $100 Lego gift card.

This is the back of the Knight-Mech. You can see the gold crystal on the back too.

This is my pistol that I made yesterday. It will shoot anything that will fit in the barrel. I used two of Aubrey's hairbands to make the launching mechanism.

I really enjoy building with Legos (exept the mess) and I hope to post some more stuff soon.

well gotta go clean up legos :)

LEGO RV and Boat

I spent several hours on Monday night constructing this RV.

Yesterday I built this boat to go with the RV.

My original intention was for the boat not to look like a lifeboat, but it happened that way. 

 The inside of the RV has a couch, a table and two chairs, a TV (you can't see it at this angle), a drivers seat, and two storage bins.  The room in the back is a bed room with a bed and extra clothes.

 This is the trailer hitch that holds the boat trailer and the RV together.

I really enjoy building with Lego's and I hope to post more Lego things I build.

duct tape

 In the past few years I have been making duct tape wallets and other stuff. Most of it I did with no instructions. Its pretty easy to do, all you have do is make a sheet of tape two times the size of whatever you are making then just fold it over and add pockets. These are the two wallets I have made.

 For Valentines Day Aubrey got me and Andrew both rolls of camouflage duct tape so I taught Andrew how to make a wallet. 

 Two Christmas's ago my parents got me a lime green roll of duct tape. When I made this wallet it was the only time I ever used instructions to make something out of duct tape. When I got my roll from Aubrey I gave her my green one and that's why there's an A and Velcro on it. 

 You can tell its older than the camouflage one. 

 The Christmas after I got the green duct tape I got a new Bible so I made it a cover.

I  don't have a picture of the DS case I made because it got torn up by Benjamin when we went to Africa.

Yesterday I was bored and I had a half of roll of duct tape so I searched the internet for things to make from duct tape. All that came up was wallets, hats, flip flops, bows, and flowers, the list goes on and on. Of course I didn't have enough tape for most of that and I didn't want another wallet and no flowers and bows for me. I don't know what got into me but I decided to make a pillow. I was half way there when I ran out of tape, thankfully Aubrey gave Andrew the exact kind she got me so he gave me the rest of his. 

I can't wait to get more duct tape so I can make more stuff.

origami slinky

This is my origami slinky that I made with some help from a YouTube video.

 It uses 70 square pieces of paper, you fold the paper to make this shape and attach them all together.

 It took me around a week to finally finish it.

The slinky is an uneven hexagon with a square in the middle.

I am really looking forward to making more origami and posting it on my blog. 

convertible

This is my convertible that I made a few weeks ago.  I just added the finishing touches to it this afternoon.  It was not really designed to be modeled after an actual type of car.  I did not have an slanted windshield big enough to fit my car so I used one from a garbage truck set. 

 It has two sets of headlights on the front bumper and a grill that does not cook burgers (HA).

The back is sort of a V shape.

This is one of my favorite cars I have ever created!  And I have made many cars!
