Sunrise Over the Snowy Mountains

I made this last night in 5 minutes, when I was supposed to be going to bed. It's the sun rising over a snowy mountain with a waterfall coming down.

 

 

I promised more pictures! Okay, I'm off to play video games..

Lego Derek

 

Pictures!

I promised more pictures and here they are!

This is Shadow Duke: He is handful of Bionicle parts put into one guy, totally awesome I say!

Here's dinner! Hamburger anyone?

 

 

 

Someone flew in for dinner to give my burger a try. I used fire ladders for the wings. 



 

 

 

Here's another guy I made. He's an ancient dude protecting a mine somewhere on a South American continent. 

 

 

 

Here's anther guy I made. He is out of these awesome parts that I guess were from train risers. Mom found a Lego Hobby store nearby and they have all kinds of awesome pieces for sale, most are used, so if we have a special piece we need and don't want to buy an entire Lego set for we can go to the hobby store and they usually have it. 

 

 

 

Here's something everyone should know. It's the Bat symbol. I had it yellow throughout but decided to take out most of the yellow. I finally got a Batman minifigure, my first ever two weeks ago and I wanted to make him a bat symbol. So I did.

 

 

 

 

Ok that's all for today. I'm in the middle of a movie so I have to go.

BYE!

2013 Needs More Lego Pictures

My Mom and I were looking at my blog and we both noticed that for the very few posts I posted this year I have almost NO pictures.

What a BORE!

I need more pics!

We will right this wrong!

It will be just a minute though...

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 is the left side

 



 

 

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.

April!

I can't believe it's April and I haven't posted a thing!!

We have been busy Imagineering and there hasn't been much time to figure out the computer. I am back in gymnastics and I started wrestling last month. I also will be on the summer swim team as will my sister so there just isn't much time to be home.

I did take pictures for a Lego stop-motion video and uploaded them to the computer, but we can't figure out how to move the pictures into the software that will turn it all into a stop motion movie. Anyways, I need to post more things because I have been telling everyone at school about my blog!

They're BAAACCKKKK

My Legos are BACK!

They were supposed to be in the garage until we moved but for some reason them being packed away in the garage made people buy me more sets. I did also have a birthday earlier this month and, of course, I got a lot of Legos. My mom bought the big triceratops Lego set on clearance for a super great price, so she was able to me a second present-the old Wii Skylander's Giant! WHAT A BIRTHDAY! My Grandma got me an awesome Lego set for my birthday which is the new space galaxy set. So many awesome pieces!!!! SO MANY!!!! I also got some little sets in addition to those.

Then my mom found the Millennium Falcon on clearance, so she snatched it up when she had the money! It was their last one too, so many folks grabbed it when the price went down a third time!!! I can't play with it though, but I did put it together. It has to be used for stop-animation so it needs to remain built.

Then we were at a Lego booth at a hobby show when we saw the Hogwart's Express. It is retired, and mom said we will use that, the Hogwart's Castle, and track down a Diagon Alley for a set...but those will have to stay built when we get them....that's so tough for me.

Those were some big deals on some big sets, and I got a few little sets too, so I kind of got new Legos to replace the Legos tucked away, and that is way awesome. Now the Legos are back out but in our room taking up major space. They're also not organized. I should take a picture of them, then take a picture when we sort them and put everything up. I think I will do that.

By the way, anyone watch the Super Bowl? Did you see our commercial? Really, it wasn't the stop-animation Lego commercial like we tried to do last year, but really it was the same. It was the milk commercial with The Rock; he ran out of an apartment (that's how we start), saves a cat in a tree, runs down the street, stops a bank robbery (they weren't scary gross clowns though and we didn't like those ugly clowns), saves an old lady from getting hit by the bus (same as ours) but then ours goes the police officer stops the light rail train to find his son's teddy bear and catches a ride back lights and sirens with the police and fire department to give his sleepy son his lost teddy bear back. Really, they stole our commercial, and I put it here and on my old website way before they made super bowl movies, and Mom entered the concept last summer when I started the can drive so we could make the full commercial.

Fantastic News

I have fantastic news everybody! My mom got her own laptop and she got a big huge deal at Costco so she made sure she got one with the room and speed to make Lego stop-animation movies!!!!

OH YEAH!!!!

Stay tuned for way more Lego pictures and news.
