MAKE LEGO NOT WAR

Check out my LEGO VW combi. It's been taken over by Doctor Carrot and his hooligans. 

They are ready for world domination, they want the world to be ruled by Hippies! 

Doctor Carrot has specially designed some weapons for his (not so) evil plans. 

Here's the real deal, this is so cool, it's just like a real VW!

It's got every detail, even a lava lamp, you can see it in the top left corner of the next picture. 

It took me about 6 hours to assemble. 

The engine is my personal favourite part of this model. 

I saw a VW combi parade on holiday, it was awesome. 

I was shocked to find the real......DOCTOR CARROT! DUM! DUM! DUM! DUUUMMMMM! 

These guys are vintage hippies! They travelled around Europe in a combi in the 60's.

This LEGO minifigure had a great view from a yellow combi. Peace man! 

Lego Catapult

I went to the Powerhouse Narnia exhibition last week and saw a cool catapult that you could fire. I made this one from checking out the design they had. My one has a locking gear and clicks into place. It only fires when you release the leaver. Pretty cool!

Here is a close-up of the mechanisms.

This is the release leaver.

Nerd Helmet

NERD HELMET

I made this helmet completely out of Lego. It was a challenge to get it to fit my head. 

It has a blue Mohawk and green spikes at the back. 

Here is the back view. If I had more Lego, I'd make a Lego suit of armour. Imagine that! 

While I was making this, I really freaked my mom out by staring at her through the helmet. She would turn around and there I would be.... Nerd Terror! 

Aaaaahhhhhh! I'm being Lego-morphed!!!......

Lego Australian Birds

I love the Australian birds. The rainbow lorikeet, little penguin, black swan, pelican and the melodious magpie and some of my favourites. 

Here is my lego collection of them. In this collection, I've tried to make them as small as possible, which was a challenge. 

Here are some close

up of them....

There's almost always a pelican at North Harbour, they love it there, there's always lots of fish for breakfast.

Manly Cove has a Little Penguin breeding site. It's really cool to see these little guys out and about. I think it's great that people spend their time guarding them when they have a chick in their nest.

 Here is a close up of the black swan.

The magpies are amazing with their songs. My sister Tara can whistle like them, that's pretty impressive. They also swoop at you if they are nesting, you should see my dad's bike helmet, he's put spikes on it to stop them.

And last is the rainbow lorikeet, my favourite. These little colourful birds come into my garden, I've even fed them by hand, they are really beautiful. 

Meet the Arachnobot! 

The Lego mini-figure sitting on it, created this menacing destroyer.

 It comes complete with toothed metal cutting disc, huge nuclear gun and 2 dangerous fangs.

The evil scientist that controls the Arachnobot thinks that his green bed-head is cool but most people think that he's a nerd.

Angry birds have changed the world. This is my model of one.

You don't want to mess with this bird!

It's a cool challenge to build a cartoon character with Lego. :)

Joel's New LEGO Blog

This is my new blog - which will soon have some of my cool Lego ideas on it.

I have been building Lego for 7 years. Sometimes my room looks like a Lego dump yard! It's true!

I want to be a Lego designer.

Here's to thinking Out the Lego Box!
