Lego bow and arrow

After doing archery in my school I did I did to make a working Lego bow and arrow.
I made a couple other models but they where not as strong as this one.
This bow that is made almost100%Lego technic is quite powerful and can shoot through cardboard.
This bow is very dangerous to the archer and the target because the elastic can snap back and hit your face.

Lego AWACS

 AWACS are Airborne Warning And Control Systems.

     

The radar system has a 360 degree view of the horizon and can detect an aircraft from up to 250 miles away.

   The challenges were making the the radar dome round and attaching it to the air plane.

  The tail was especially hard to do, so I stuck the bricks sideways between the studs.

The Avro Arrow

The Avro Arrow was a interceptor aircraft that got discontinued in 1959 because of the price to build one of these beasts was enormously high. One of the other factors was because the government of Canada wanted to build more missiles. The Avro Arrow was capable of reaching speeds of Mach 2. This model has allot of angle bricks to make it as realistic as possible.

Lego cottage

Lego cottage 
This Lego cottage was made to look like a old house that had been renovated. I like the front step because of its cool pattern,  I also like the chimney because it has cool colors and textures.
On of the challenges was the front window because I wanted the window to have some dimensions I put some plants on the on the sill to cover  it up.
On of the other challenges was the dormer window I had to make the seems match to the roof.

Gentoo penguin

The penguins at the Calgary zoo are one of the biggest attractions at the zoo, and just last week a baby chick hatched. Celebration of this event I made a gentoo penguin and a little chick.
The model is of Lachlan and his new chick. why I only made Lachlan and not Giselle, was because I started making Lachlan and then I realised that I would not have more bricks to make Giselle.
Most of this penguin is hollow, so it can easily clasps in on its self which made it hard to build more bricks on top.

Jungle water falls

                                                           Jungle Water Falls

The reason that I made this model was because I wanted to build a model without a picture, So this time I made something that I could create myself.

One of the challenges of building this model was building the rocks by the water fall.

The splashing effect was made by LEGO Chima chi bricks.
