New LEGO Skater
 
5 Attachment(s)
My 11 year old finally built something cool out of LEGO. This was not a kit, it was parts from all the spare pieces. He also built a tilt trailer but I couldn’t find it this morning. I think boating is in his blood now.:evilb:

Sydwayz 05-23-2012 11:12 AM

I'm surprised you opted to go with Pulse Drives. :D

racer-x6 05-23-2012 11:14 AM

It's a top secret set-up, three engine's with twin surface drive. Don't forget the NOS and bow wing!

Shag555 05-23-2012 11:15 AM

My 7 year old is all over legos (still building kits). But it's good for his brain.

Great build!

LaVita 05-23-2012 11:28 AM

That's outstanding. My son and I put a kit together that was a boat. They have an offshore model, Fishing Boat, and Police Boat

I was drawing Cigs and Donzis on a regular basis when I was like 10-11. I kept giving them backwards steps. My parents thought I was dyslexic. Turns out I was just pre-designing the eventual Chief powerboat. LOL

Cash Bar 05-23-2012 02:15 PM

That Lego boat is probably better built than some REAL boats that have come down the line.

Nice!

Suprised he could put together enough non-specific parts to build it.
Lego kits have become more like simple snap together models than universal parts that encourage imagination.

Found the New MyCo trailer:thankyouthankyou:

X-Rated30 05-25-2012 08:44 AM

He's either gonna have to convert that to a tilt trailer or spend a lot of time with that little Lego policeman getting permits.:poopoo:

seafordguy 05-25-2012 08:58 AM

Very Cool.

I thought this post was going to be about the latest Theme Boat!!!

Submit it to LEGO and see if they will buy the "rights" to it (I'm not an intellectual property lawyer so I'm not sure that's the right term!!)

Oh man, those Lego Skater seats are tough to sit on in big seas. Peter seems to think it's funny.
