Tank


So the main reason I build tanks is because we have crawler tracks.

The two lower guns are fixed into place, while the smaller gun on top is mounted to a rotating turret.

Pirates



Here's a pirate ship. There's a life boat on the side, cannons in back, and a room in the front for the captain.







The deck comes off so you can see the living space below. There are beds, a kitchen, and a brig complete with prisoners.

Police Car

Yup, it's a police car.

A hotel or a library, depending on who you ask

So, Jeremiah has been wanting me to build him a house for about forever, so I built one. While building it, I decided it makes a good hotel. The room at the top would be for the owner, the third floor would be rooms, the second floor would the restaurant, and the first floor would be the lobby. Jeremiah gathered up a bunch of lego books, built a shelf and made this building into a library.

Boats

Jeremiah built these ships. I don't know the exact story for the one above except that he built it and wanted me to put it on the blog. I really like the one below. He tells me that is can sail above and under the water.

Bird Feeder


Some of you may know that I used to work at Wild Birds Unlimited. WBU inspired this piece. The feeder holds little lego "seeds." One of the roof flaps lifts up to load the feeder. The seeds spill out of a gap at the bottom collecting in the tray. You can see Jeremiah's little bird house in the background.

Tiny Pickup Truck

Sorry the picture of this little guy came out so blurry! I know this is kind of a silly little lego creation, but for some reason I really like it.

Circus Train

I built a circus train. I love any excuse to use bright colors.

This car is for storage- maybe the big top tent would go in here.


















This cage car contains the circus's performing bear.










This flat, open car houses the circus ponies, complete with food and water troughs.















The last two cars house the circus performers. The red car has one bed, a rotating chair, and a trunk. The white car has two trunks and two beds.

Daivd's Helicopter


David built this lovely helicopter. And if you are a fan of aircraft (like David), and a fan of legos (like me) you should check out our other two lego helicopters posted on 16 April 2007. Next time David's building, I need to convince him to make an F14.

Excavator


Yup, it's a treaded excavator.

The arm moves, and the cab spins around on its crawler tracks.

Jeremiah built a monster truck


Hey guys. Check out this monster truck that Jeremiah built! Today he told me that it's called 66 Gravedigger.
The creation below is Jeremiah's fishing boat. The pieces on the bottom are the sails. This boat has a removable vacuum hose, not for sucking up the fish, though. Instead it blows bubbles underwater.

Stationary crane


David built this crane with Jeremiah. He modeled it after a crane that he sees on the way to work.

The boom arm swings around, and there is a little control room with a construction worker inside. He also included the weight to balance out the load being lifted.
It's kinda cool how each person has his or her own unique building style!

Bugs


These bugs are inspired by a snail in a legoland book and a suggestion by David.
They may be a little dorky, but I definitely have a soft spot for bugs.
