LEGO Quest #3

Quest #3 - Vessel

Hey LEGO Quest kids, I cannot believe the coolness of the creations you guys are making! Here is this weeks challenge;

Design a vessel. Here is the definition of the word vessel.

Vessel
-noun
1. a craft for traveling on water, now usually one larger than an ordinary rowboat; a ship or boat.

2. an airship.

3. a hollow or concave utensil, as a cup, bowl, pitcher, or vase, used for holding liquids or other contents.


As you can see, you have a lot of options here, have fun!



Jacob: it has a motor so it can go fast. It can go very fast. It can speed faster than the police and do pop-a-wheelies. It's sometimes like a skidoo.



Daniel: Theres three people in it. It's a boat that can go underwater. You can drive it from two different sides. It goes way up at the top on the water and can sink to the bottom to drive. It can even drive upsidedown.


And then Jacob decided to make another kind of vessel....

It's a cup!

Uh-oh! I spilled my water!

Happy Birthday Jacob!

Do you ever look at your kid and think "holy moly when did he suddenly get so big I can't lift him into the grocery cart anymore and he also shouldn't really be in the grocery cart?" ... Well I did! Jacob turned 6 and he is definitely not "little" anymore. He has become a passionate, compassionate, awesome kid! I'm amazed.
Anyways... He came up with this super plan (it was all just in his head, he said) for his birthday cake. It would have a racetrack with actual toy race cars on it. And there would be people watching the race on some sort of 3 dimensional stands and the people would be M&Ms. It should also have his name and a 6 on it somewhere. I'm on it, I said.

Quest #2 - Monochromatic


Monochromatic colour scheme.

Pick a colour, any colour, and use only that colour of LEGO.

Build anything. The sky is the limit. A structure, a sculpture, functional, non-functional, anything at all, but you can only use one colour!





Daniel: It's a little bad guy getaway boat. It has a door. The thing on top tells everybody something like "There's a meeting today."


Jacob: It's a garbage chopper. It chops the garbage up when you drop it in. It has very sharp big blades in it.

Quest #1 - Car


Create a LEGO Car.

Get your LEGO out, it's time for LEGO Quest Challenge #1

This can be simple or extremely complex, it's up to you. The only real rule is that it has to be custom built. Your own creation, not a pre-designed one.



Daniel: Mine has a tow hook and can tow cars. It has real stairs and moving stairs because my car is very big. They have a suitcase to deliver to the suitcase store.



Jacob: It's a fire truck car. The spoiler makes it go fast. I built a tunnel for the fire truck to go through.
