Completed Challenge #4: Favorite Movie

Great job, everyone! If you want to see close-ups, you can click on the picture!

This is 221b Baker St, Sherlock Holmes's apartments. It’s a combination of movie and book references, so I thought it would be perfect since I missed the literary themed challenge, and this week's is your favorite movie.

 Sean, age 18

(Wow Sean! I can't believe how well you did! And how accurate! Trumpets! Drums!)

Kadie Silebi, Age 7, This is my lego picture of Belle from "Beauty And The Beast". Belle is in a library, reaching up to get a book.
(Wow, Kadie! That's really good!)

This is my lego TARDIS interior, from the show Doctor Who. (BBC) The doors open,
 the chair swivels, the console and tubey timey wimey thingy light up,
and it includes 10 custom minifigs: Amy Pond, 9th Doctor, 10th Doctor,
11th Doctor, Clara Oswald, K-9, a cyberman, Dalek Sec, strategist Dalek, and scientist Dalek.
I gave Clara a 1x2 white tile for a soufflé recipe, and wrote on it with a fine tip sharpie.
For those of you who do not watch Doctor who, (and I hope you all DO watch it!)
it is about a time traveler called The Doctor, and his time machine, called the TARDIS, (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space), which is bigger on the inside, and on the outside is disguised as a blue phone box. Click here to see a picture and click here to see the TARDIS interior. The Doctor always travels with a companion, some of which include Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, Donna Noble, Amy Pond, And Clara Oswald. Oh, and if you don't watch Doctor Who and you don't start watching, YOU WILL BE EXTERMINATED! If you do watch it, leave a comment saying so!
By Peregrine.

 "Doctor, where are we?" "Er, my best guess is we are on a blog."

 EXTERMINATE!!!

 Its hard to see, but the bulby flashy lighty thing IS lighting up!

 

Benjamin, age 8:

This is a scene from America's Funniest Home Videos! It is one of my favorite shows. This has the studio audience, the host, and the funny videos playing in the background behind tv screens. It always makes me laugh so I love that show!

(AAAUUUGGGHHH!!!!! A HORSE! HHHHEEELLLPPP!!!!!!  Great job!)

This is my favorite movie, Emmett from the Lego movie.
Ricky 7
(Nice, Ricky!)

 This is my Lego battle of Lothlorian. (Lord of the Rings)
Israel, age 11
(Nice Israel! I Like the wood shelter!)

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.)

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?)
