My OCD and Creative Itch had to be scratched last week when I walked by the Lego Store. I blame not getting to finish the spaceship I was trying to build when we went to the Lego Movie a couple weekends earlier. Although I couldn’t get all the bricks to be color coordinated, I’m proud of the results. I regret my Qatar-residing nephews weren’t present. We’ve had some great times building stuff plus I would receive an ego boost in how Cannon and Wyatt requested Uncle Steve-based creations.
Miss Penelope’s airplane is propeller-driven because I couldn’t find any jet-like looking pieces. I think it turned out better with props.
It does bear a resemblance to an X-Wing Fighter or the recently released Z-95 Headhunter precursor from the novels. The canopy/cockpit isn’t completely sealed so Miss Penelope can only take it up to the same altitudes as WWI era craft.
I put the colored blocks on the wingtips in case Miss Penelope tries to her crazy contraption at night or through fog.
Next challenge…a road vehicle but I’m open to your suggestions.
