ISS

                                                                      Space Station 

The reason I made the Space Station  was because of Music Monday.

Music Monday is when choirs all throughout the country sing the same song that changes every year.
My school choir along with three other choirs sang ISS together. 

The song for this year is ISS  Is Somebody Singing or International Space Station

Ed Robertson And Chris Hadfield

composed Is Somebody Singing (ISS) because Chris Hadfield is the first Canadian to command the International Space Station. 

 Money Safe With Key

I wanted to make a safe to be as strong as it could be.

By adding the key to the safe it made it harder to get into and therefore more secure  

 The mechanism was easy to make but hard to open without the key

Swiss Chalet

The reason that I made a Swiss Chalet was to make something with lots of angles.

some of the challenges in making the Swiss Chalet was the roof and all the hinges.

Lego elastic shooter

This Lego elastic shooter can can be fired repeatedly without any reloading. I made a strong mechanism that lets the big gear spin one rotation firing one elastic band, every time the trigger is pulled.

The black circle is the firing gear and the red gear is the trigger.
  

This elastic shooter shoots elastic bands accurately so I made some targets to shoot at.
I made this elastic shooter not strong but to test new mechanisms for more elastic shooters later.

            

      

     

Moai

                             The reason I made this statue of a Moai because it looked interesting to build.

A Moai is a statue that is from Easter island Moais were carved by the rapa nui people. 

Moai being built

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

Titanic

                               The reason I made the Titanic was because it looked challenging to build.                
the Titanic a magnificent British ship that was that was supposedly unsinkable but sadly sank about 100 years ago.After she hit an iceberg and went down to the ocean floor.

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 front

 The Osprey V-22 is a military plane that has a 30 barrel machine gun that can shoot 3,000 bullets per minute (50 per second) It can hit a target 1,500 meters away.      

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.
