Eli's Ferry

My Lego challenge was to build a vessel.  A vessel is a part of the body that carries blood, a hollow container, boat, or aircraft.  I chose to do a boat.  it is a ferry boat. It was challenging but fun.  There's lots of room for the passengers to sit on the seats.  I put a place for a car to park and I put a gate for the car to get in and out.  I built a part for the pilots to sit. there are three pilots to control the boat.


After I built it, I put it in the bathtub but it didn't float.  The bottom was not waterproof.  Next time I would use a solid bottom so that it can float.  It is still fun to play with on the carpet!   I  worked on my ferry for 5 days.  I am proud of my vessel!

Eli's Fast Cheetah

For my challenge I had to build something using only one colour Lego blocks.  That is called monochromatic.  I used yellow and built a cheetah.  I had to build it twice because it fell and broke.  I made it so that its head and tail could move.  My cheetah's favourite food is gazelle.  I think my cheetah looks good because its head and tail can move.  I liked this challenge.

Eli's Police Vehicle

This year I am participating in a Lego challenge.  Each week I will be given a new challenge to complete.  My mom is helping me to record my creations on a blog.

Quest #1 was to design a car.  See details of the quest here.

Here is my first creation.







My Lego car is a police car.  I  Even put a jail in it !  It has doors on it so the driver to get in.  I like it because I built it all by myself.  It doesn't have sirens so that the robber won't know that it is the police car.
