Completed Challenge # 8: Government

Hi everyone! Sorry I'm SUPER late! ( I think I must be turning into Connie Kendall!)  Thanks for all the awesome creations! The new challenge will posted shortly, but in the meantime, the government

challenge is complete! 

  Good building!

                  Peregrine

This is my police robot.
Isaiah - age 2

(Wow, Isaiah! I'm surprised someone your age could build something that awesome!)

                            

My name is Joshua and I’m 13 years old, species, human. This is my futuristic police car. It has jet boosters on the back and a machine gun in the front.

(Wow Joshua! That is an awesome police car!)

This is my Lego army fort.
      Ricky, age 6, Species, human.

(That is awesome, Ricky! I like how you gave 
the army guy a 12-Pounder!)

This is my lego police truck.

            Israel,
Age 11, species, human. 
(WOW!! That is one of the coolest creations you've submitted 
Israel!) 

The first picture is a thief who disguised himself as one of the gov't officials (he stole a gun that the gov't was making). The blue helmet dudes are undercover SWAT team members, the gray dude with the red ray gun is the weapons specialist, the gray dude on the ground with the red face helmet is the team leader, and the white hat dude is a regular police officer.

In the second picture, they caught the thief.

---Adam, age 10,

Species, human.

(Yipe! I wouldn't want to be
that thief when he was caught!) 

 Another view of Adam's creation.

President Bionicle.  Minion (on right) says "It's a costume!"  President Bionicle (left) says "No it's not!!!"

By Ryan , age 12,
species, human.

(That minion looks pretty cool, Ryan!) 

This is a marine in the space police and right now is currently charging to take down that alien spaceship that stole some very important info.  The legos around him are asteroids and the tower is a gas station.
By Travis, age 11,
species, human.

(Wow, Travis! I hope he catches that ship!)

Another view of  Travis' creation.

Hi this is Miles (8) species, human, building with my little brother Herman's duplos. Here we have a South American Police Station. The cops looked pretty relaxed.

(I hope no leopards pounce on the cops!)

 Finally,
my creation.

The villains are trying to steal the super-secret government
N.U.K.E. missile! (Nuclear Unexistance and Killing Electrode)

Completed Challenge # 5: Natural Disasters

Hi everyone! Sorry this post is late. I've been at my Grandma's house and when I got home I didn't have enough time. I'm afraid it's late tonight so I won't be able to leave comments, but I love everyone's creation! I hope none of us ever encounter any of these cataclysms, especially the one at the bottom! 

It's actually a volcano, it's actually made out of Legos! By Diego, age 5.    

This is my earthquake picture. The three workers are trying to cut the tree into pieces to move it out of the way, because it fell down in the quake.
The guy upstairs is trapped in his own house because the stairs fell down in the earthquake. The fireman is trying to rescue him. The "head" on the ground is a dude in a hole in the road. 

This second picture is an aftershock! The ladder is flying all over the place and hit the dude in the head. The police officer can't stabilize the ladder anymore! The hole closed up over the dude in the street.

                                            ---Adam, age 10

                                                                                   
  

After a tornado in a small jungle town there is a bus turned over and there is a house covered with leaves. 

Elisha, 13 years old

Hi I'm Miles, 8 years old. My brother Herman is 3. I decided to use his duplos to make a natural disaster. In the picture there is an upended train that has just been swept away by a tidal wave.
The blue themed object in the middle is the tidal wave, wiping out all in its wake. Up on the high tower the people are watching the wave coming......

Here is the 2nd picture which shows what happens after the tidal wave hits the tower:

 Another view of Mile's tower.

And finally, this is my ultimate disaster! It is 

THE END OF THE WORLD! 

A meteorite smashed into Central Park and made a giant sinkhole, out of which a crack ran to the

Suburban area of New York. A hot dog vendor fell in, and when they sent a rescue crew, they 

realized that the crack was full of lava! But instead of finding the vendor, they only awakened

 LAVA MONSTERS! There's one coming out of the crack and wielding a pipe, and some TNT 

next to his foot, cause the SWAT in black put it there to try and blow it up, but its only going 

to make it worse! Theres a horse rearing with fright and a crashed F-15 chopper behind a smashed house where a UNIT personnel is firing a sonic repeater at the lava monster. There is a street light that is cracked, and a businessman and a construction worker are running away. There are fuel pipes strewn across the place because the crack breeched the fuel line. The meteorite impact is sending the earth 

out of orbit towards the sun!

A tree fell across the crack and a man is trying to get across!
By Peregrine
 

Completed Challenge # 3: Literary Inspiration

Hi guys! Thanks for all the awesome book submissions. I'm sorry I'm putting this out a day late, but I was up in Portland yesterday and didn't have time to do it. I love seeing the range of books here, from early reader books to novels like Harry Potter. I like that some of you used actual sets while others made their own creation. Great work, everybody! I will post the next challenge soon.
Please leave comments for each other!

My Lego creation is from the  Harry Potter series. The author is J.K.Rowling. This is my model of the Hogwarts castle.  It has moving stairs and spinning doors.

Joshua
(Wow, Joshua! I haven't read the Harry Potter books but I've done some research and know something about them. I can recognize the tower pieces from the actual set, and I like that you have torches on them.)

 Another view of Joshua's model

Book: The Neverending Story 

By: Ralph Manheim

Atreyu and Artax entering the Swamps of Sadness.....

I didn't really like this part of the story because Artax sinks into the swamps and dies but I picked it because it reminds me not to give up, no matter how sad I feel. Benjamin Silebi- age 8

(Way to go, Benjamin! I have not read The Neverending Story but I will look for it at the library. Is Atreyu the horse or the boy? The Swamps of Sadness is an appropriate name.) 

Benjamin with the Swamps of Sadness.

 This is my creation from Star Wars the Clone Wars, The Mandalore  Plot, by
John Lindberg.  The Mandalorian Star Fighters wings fold into flying position and the landing gear comes up.

Digory emerged from the pool in the wood between the worlds. Polly is waiting!
By Diego, Age 5.

(Wow, Diego! I really love how you gave them each the yellow and the green rings. I hope Jadis doesn't catch Polly! I'm sorry we couldn't figure out how to post your movie but we really liked it! You did a great job and I'm glad that app!) 

 This is a scene from the Hardy Boys book "The Cactus Thieves" by Franklin W. Dixon. The maniac with the gun happens to be the park owner who's trying to keep the wildlife from being ruined. But he wasn't getting paid much so he decided to steal and sell cactuses. He tried to get the Hardy Brothers away from the investigation by framing someone else. The dude on the slippery sidewalk is something I added on. (I didn't have tan pieces for the desert, so I used snow.)
                                                               ----Adam, 10

(Wow, Adam! That is a great re-creation of The Cactus Theives! I've read the book and I think snow might actually be cooler. It could be a rare breed of cactus that only grows in the snow and is worth a whole lot of money!) 

This is a ship from treasure island the author is Robert Louis Stevenson. It is when the good guys still owned the ship. I am Elisha and I am 13
(That is so cool, Elisha! It almost looks like a stone castle that's floating. I guess that would be really strong, a floating stone castle! I like how you made the jolly boat in tow!) 

 This is my creation from my favorite book, the race for chi.
It is from lego Chima. I like Chima a lot, so I built something from it.
My name is Ryland, and I am nine.
(That is so cool, Ryland! I loved how you only used sets. It makes it look super cool. I didn't know you had Cragger; did you just get him?)

Completed Challenge # 2: Olympics and Lego Movie

Hi everyone! Great work on all the amazing creations! Don't forget to leave comments.

The Sochi commemorative airliner with a distinctive "smaller" 5th ring. Miles, 8

(Great job, Miles! I love how you even remembered one of

the rings failed to open up!)

Hello! My name is Benjamin. I am 8 years old. This is my lego scene I built from the Lego movie. I love Legos! Thanks for letting me be a part of this club.

(Great work, Benjamin! I love how you made a custom car for Batman and also you used the Supercycle from the set! Emmet looks pretty scared.)

This is my custom made Lego Emmet from The Lego Movie.
Israel, 11

(Way 2 go! I love how you animated his mouth and the speech bubble. That's one of my favorite lines!) 

Colorful swirling thing from Lego movie.
Ricky, 6

(Wow, Ricky, that looks very colorful like a rainbow! I haven't seen the Lego movie yet so I'll look forward to seeing this part.)

Here's a custom  fig I made for the Olympic biathlon (a game that combines cross country skiing and rifle shooting). P.S. I forgot the to put skis in the pic.

Sean, 18

(Awesome, Sean! I really love how you used different things like paint. I have a good friend who does a lot of customization like that. And the background is absolutely awesome!) 

I love snowboarding. [It reminds me of
 skateboarding.] That's why I did it. The guy in black is on a rocket-powered snowboard.
 Even though he's cheating he'll end up last or 6th place.                                
 Because he'll crash into the guy in first and fall down.
 When he falls down he'll get run over and by the time he gets
 up and goes he'll be last.

                                         ----Adam Huerta,10

(Awesome, Adam! It serves that cheater right! I hope someone who isn't cheating wins that giant trophy on top. I really like how you used hinged pieces to make a slope.)

Hey guys! This Star Wars guy is on skis and is about to go off a huge jump. The person on the snow board at the bottom has the best time fans around him cheering for him. What you can't see is another skier getting on a lift to go back up to retry. I did not introduce myself last time. I am Ezra miller. Elisha is my brother. I am also really super good friends with Peregrine. I have been traveling for six years ever since I was five. I am eleven and I loved last weeks creations! I can't wait till I can see all of the new ones that Peregrine is going to post next week! The things going up the mountain are ski lifts. The grey patch is the bottom of the jump. Well, that's all.

(Awesome, Ezra! I love how you make ski lifts, fans, and that you made another guy who didn't make it and wants to try again. Really good work. Five star creation!) 

Tornado Bobsled.
By Ryland, Age 9

(Wow, Ryland, I really love it! With that propeller on top I bet he goes super fast. Does the propeller create a tornado to suck up opponents?) 

Finally, this is my Sochi 2014 Olympic ski competition.

 The seats are 2 rows high,  there are multiple ski jumps, 

and I made custom athletes for Russia, Canada, USA,

Great Britain, and Italy! There is a loudspeaker on the 

overlook, and I even made a man with a pistol to start the 

race!

 Another view of my ski course.

Stay tuned for the next challenge! 

                          

Completed Challenge #1: Robots

                                                                               Hi guys!

    Thanks for all the super cool robots! You all did great! I loved how Sean used flesh colored rounded plates! They look like muscles! And Ryland decided to do a sports-bot instead of a battle-bot! Creations ranged from micro-scale to foot tall giants! Some used a base color, while others used all the colors they could find! With weapons and bot types ranging from mechs and space machetes to volcano bots and total annihilation guns, I hope this horde of robots doesn't revolt!

    I left you all some comments in parenthesis. Please leave comments for each other at the end of the post.

My Lego robot with eyes made out of cannons.
Ricky, age 6

                             (Wow, Ricky! I love the cannon eyes! can he see through the cannonballs? That's awesome! Good work Ricky!)

This is my lego assassin bot. It has a laser cannon and a space machete.

Israel, Age 11

(Incredisuper! I love how you used solid grey for its body, and red for the eyes! The grill for the mouth and control panels on its chest!! He looks like a master assassin! Great work Israel! )

              

Hi guys! this is is my volcano robot with knifes at his ankles, a machine guns on his back, a knife in one hand, and in the other he has two switchblades, he has a strong hand made out of stone with poison spines most of the way up it. For everyone who dose not know me I am Elisha I have traveled for six and a half years And I am 13 years old.
(Weapons, weapons, weapons! I love that! With all those weapons, he sure sounds like a dangerous one!)                                

                                                                                    

My awesome altimet war robot six inches tall.

Ezra, age 11

(Wow, Ezra! I don't know what Altimet means but I bet it's something awesome.) I like how he has a shield and how it looks like he has an eyeball at his feet. Great work, Ezra!) 

My name is Ryland and I am 9. I like Beyblades, animals and sports. My robot is a Ski Jumping Robot. His first jump was awesome but he fell apart when he crash landed!
(That is totally CRAZILY AWESOME!!!! I love how you did something unique and that kind of fits the mood because of the Olympics.)

Tiny police robot! Diego likes to build things on a tiny scale, he is 5 years old and loves to be creative with his building!   

 (Wow, Diego, I like how he has blue and white piece on him to make him look kind of official! And how you put transparent pieces on his bottom to make him look like he's hovering! I really love it!) 

Here is my submission for the Lego robot.

 

Sean, 18 year old Lego enthusiast who will build just about anything.

  (Wow, Sean! he looks kinda creepy with that mouth! Super awesome!) 

Another view of Sean's robot.

Joshua (12 years old) - I like root beer floats and soccer.

My robot has a cannon on the right arm and a shield and an ammo compartment on the left arm.

       (Wow, Joshua! Good thing he has an ammo compartment, or he would be done for!
great work! Peregrine.)

I got the idea from Astro Boy. I made it for military use: to crush and destroy any enemies of the country that owns it. It's left arm has a gun built into it for total annihilation. 

---Adam
    (age 10)
(Wow, Adam! Does he have an electro-staff on his back? great!
peregrine)

I'm age 8 and my name is Miles.

I like lego star wars and have 4 brothers and 2 sisters. I live in Walla Walla, WA

                                                                                     (Wow Miles! Is that an eye on top? Pretty sweet!) 

                                                                                                                                                    

 Finally, this is my robot! He has a giant sword and a cannon on one arm, a huge claw on the other, and a space for a guy to sit inside. The front window folds down and the guy can see through it. I used pieces from Hero Factory sets to make the arms and legs.


Thanks again, everyone! This was great. Stay tuned for the next challenge!
