The challenges were that it is hollow and it kept collapsing in on its self.

                               The reason I made the Titanic was because it looked challenging to build.

The challenges I came across were the front of the ship because it didn't have the right amount of studs it would not stay on.

Another challenge was that the the back had to be the right shape and it was hard

My Lego Plane from the side



The body of the V-22 is armoured on the top bottom and sides.
this armoured monster can holed up to 24 troops  
                 The reason I decided to make a V-22 was because I wanted to make a challenging plane.And because it is vary different from other air planes.

This plane uses a lot of hinge bricks for the sides and fount.
