One of The Lego Movies most popular characters is Benny. Benny is part of a Lego theme known as Classic Space. Back when I was a lad it was simply called Space and was the first time Lego had made sets along these lines. Since then there have been Exploriens, Ice Planet, Mars Mission and Space Police along with Alien Invasion.
One of the newest sets this year is Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, Spaceship and this has brought about a renewed interest in Classic Space and so I thought I would re-design some of the vehicles I liked from my childhood days.
Have you ever tried to make a Lego set better by adding your own ideas?
My new favorite lego theme is Mixels.
I have only seen one episode of the television series but the lego models are just fun and full of useful parts.
Here are some I made by mixing up two of the same colour sets to build a new one.
Give it a go or try out the different eyes on some other type of character.
Here is something I was wanting to try for a long time, a fish. In this case a gold fish.
It took a lot of tries to get the shape right and I had to look at a lot of pictures of real fish to check.
This model is built like a sandwich with two sides made from orange plates and a filling made of orange bricks. It is standing up on an antenna piece connected to a radar dish under the rocks.
We just happened to have an old fishbowl lying around and so Otto got a home and we got a new fish that we don't have to feed.
If you do something like this you could even add plants to the fishbowl.
