Lego Firedog Firehouse Contest

Yes people! Lego Derek is still ALIVE and kicking! And Lego-ing! Did I mention Mom pulled my Legos out? Soon I will blog about how she got the Legos into the room with plastic tower drawers and bins that fit perfectly under the bed. I have long bins under the bed for the white, red, blue and yellow bricks as well as a shorter bin for gray and a small three-drawer thingy that is supposed to be for papers but holds my minifigure accessories, colored see-through pieces and jewels.

I had been busy all month building the latest Lego building challenge from the Lego Club Magazine. It was due by June 7th, and we printed our pictures (my sister made one too) and mailed it overnight just in time. You had to build the ultimate dog house for the fire dog.

My mom found this Lego shop nearby that buys and sells Lego parts and pieces. We got those A-frames just for this doghouse. Once we saw it in the store there I knew I had to have them and they would be the perfect 'walls'  for the doghouse. I wanted to make sure everyone could see all the cool stuff inside, but still keep the A-frame shape of a classic doghouse and give it a roof. We've also found some really cool random pieces at the store. We had gone down there in the first place to see if they had the garage door pieces, because I knew  had more red colored garage door pieces but I couldn't find them, so we decided to just buy the individual bricks. When we went in to the store and asked the boy at the counter if he had any, he said he had plenty! So we got them and the A-frames, my sister got a Lego mermaid and fancy lattice/door frames.

Here is my dog house:

Check out my dude on the left! Not on the firehouse, the plastic drawers!



Check out this next pic! We didn't send it in because the firehouse blended too much with everything else and Mom said it was too busy with all the Lego stuff in the background. My Mom and I also thought I looked a little funny and the dog house isn't close enough to the camera. But check out my black drawers, we have the sorter Lego head on top of the drawers and it looks like a big huge Lego dude!

 

This is the right side of the dog house.

This picture is of the trophy case I made. I just realized you can't see the trophy inside the case though, it was really really cool. There is another trophy next to it and infront of it, but the one inside the case is the best. I will have to take picture of it so I can share. I still have to take a picture of my chandelier in the upstairs room, Mom thinks it's really clever!

 



That's all I wanted to post for now. I haven't gone anywhere and I'm still Legoing.
