Lego Mania!

Winter is a good time to play Legos inside and Ian is quite the builder! Below is the Republic Attack Gunship from the Star Wars series. The kit had 1,045 pieces and was recommended for 9 year olds and up. Ian built it himself!











There are doors that open and various compartments with things and Clone Troopers inside them.





One of the two pilots.









The Lego Shark. Carefully crafted and refined, it is constructed of premium corrugated cardboard and 3/4" masking tape. I was somewhat ashamed, though, that no duct tape was used.




The tapered right side serves as the handle, making this a right-handed model.





The patented Lego Shark logo. On the inside is written the kits we've built together (so far just the Republic Attack Gunship). More to come.

What amazes me is the things (usually spaceships) that Ian creates on his own. He's very inventive and his designs are original. In a future entry, I will present a second gallery of his work. The first one can be found in the entry dated March 9, 2008.

Don't despair, little one! It's only 'cause I want the blog to be non-location specific if you know what I mean....linking to other blogs changes things. What to do?
