Lego Car 2


Lego Car 2 (Vintage Car)

This is a model I found one day when I was scrolling through images of Lego cars on google. (bottom image)                
 
 
I instantly knew I wouldn’t have all the pieces but I decided I would make it any way. It definitely doesn’t look as good as the original but I think it still looks like a half decent replica.

Lego car 1

Note*
 The front part of the green bits over the drivers seat are glow in the dark,
 as well as the front piece of the horn on the front of the car.

So after building several models that required me to think how to build them I decided to build one model that I already had and modify it. For this I made a car that used technic and glow in the dark pieces. Unfortunately I couldn’t find all the right pieces, so some pieces are slightly different to what I had hoped to have.

Lightbulb

When I was on the website where I found the Lego Disguise I stumbled across this a light bulb. Straight off I jumped on to Lego Digital Designer and tried to figure out how it was made didn't work to well so I made it out of my own Lego instead and this is what I came up with this (Located Below)
Once I'd managed to make it out of normal Lego I jumped back on to LDD and made a second light bulb which worked.

Lego Hand



"Ladies and Gentlemen I present or should I say

 "hand" you my hand"



 

For my second Lego Project I have built and designed a hand with an extending arm down to the elbow. I started off looking on the internet to see if there were any designs but the only thing that responded was pictures of Lego peoples hands and arms.
 
 
 
I decided to give up on the internet and use my own mind to build this model from scratch. As you can see it did work reasonably well most of the fingers are the right length and start at around the right point that they do on a normal hand. Building the hand took the best part of a Friday evening and then part of the following Saturday Morning.

Once I had finished and taken the photos I needed to I decided that it might look cool to take a photo of it playing a chord on my ukulele. (Making something in reverse is a lot harder especially when you haven't seen how you made it normally). Once I had made the left hand I decided against changing it back.

Final Lego Disguise

These two models were my finals design the one made on the Lego program I own is a copy of the original model and the other model which I made with my personal Lego. I have changed the glasses model to be more suitable so that I can see out of them. I have also made the moustache slightly higher so it fits around my mouth. I also changed the colour of the sideburns so that they don't contain fluoro green dots

Lego Disguise


My first building project is this Lego Disguise or Lego Beard and Glasses. I found this project while I was on Google trying to figure out what to do for my project. When I started building this I straight away started using my own Lego as it was much easier. 
When I did build it I had to modify the design slightly as I didn't have all the pieces that were used in the original design. As you can see my design may need a bit more work to reach a better quality and I've made the sides longer so it fits on my face properly but otherwise it is perfect. The only downfall to the model is that it is very fragile(I found out letting it fall off your face when your wearing it doesn't help*)
 
 
 
*I also found out that it was fragile when it did fall off my face




A link to the website where I found the design and many more is located below (the designs about halfway down the page).
