Tow Truck

 This is one of my Dad's old sets. It uses the same pieces as the Jeep I showed you earlier.

The back

The cab

Front view

It steers, just like the jeep. Except on this one, you turn this wheel in the middle rather than the one in the cab.

LEGO Jeep

  This is another creation from Dad's old manuals. A yellow Jeep.

A front view. We have head lights. A grille made of a ladder piece. The hook on the end of the winch attaches to a clip plate built into the bumper.

 The inside. We have a steering wheel, walkie-talkie and gear shifter.

 The trunk. It features a layer of tiles on the bottom. Has lots of storage capabilities.

 Side view. Here, you can see the roll cage, side mirrors, fire extinguisher, seat, and the lights on the  roll cage.

 Another view of the front.

 A different view of the interior. You can see some buttons down the the floor. That's supposed to be a gas pedal. The buttons aren't supposed to be there.

 These levers are windshield wipers.

 Other side has a shovel.

 My brother's favorite feature of this Jeep is that it can steer.

 The steering wheels is attached to a gear, which turns the wheels.

Close up of the gear responsible for steering the whole thing.

 There is a spare tire on the back, as well as a bumper and tail lights.

Tiny Sheep!

 These microscale sheep only use four pieces! I saw them as part of a LEGO Settlers of Catan game board on Pinterest. Here's how to build them.

Microscale Sheep
 You'll need:

• 1 white headlight brick
• 1 white 1x1 tile
• 1 black 1x1 round plate
• 1 black lever base

 Place the round plate on the back of the headlight brick.

 Add the lever base to the bottom of it, then put the tile on the front.

 Make a whole flock! I set them on a green plate for grass and added some 1x2 grilles for fencing.

Baa.

Bookshelf

 Here's a simple LEGO bookshelf. My original plan was to build my own, but I found a cool one in my brother's LEGO Play book that uses the SNOT* building method.

 Bookshelf
Here's the pieces you'll need:

• 25 white 1x2 bricks

OR

• 5 white 1x2x5 bricks
• 2 white 2x8
• Two stacks of multi-colored 1x2 plates five bricks high (15 per stack, 30 total)

 Place three of the 1x2x5 bricks on one of the 2x8 plates, two studs apart like so.

 Place the remaining two 1x2x5 bricks in between the three as shown.

 Now add the multicolored 1x2 plates.

 And the other 2x8 plate.

 I added a 1x2 tile and a 1x2 plate to make the legs wider.

Ta-da! Turn your creation on it's side and your bookshelf is complete.

The original shelf was brown rather than white. You could make yours any color you like.
*Studs Not On Top

Doctor Who Post

Today's post is for Doctor Who fans everywhere. I have a LEGO K-9 and Dalek for you. Both were taken from Pinterest pins. I've seen tons of ideas for LEGO Daleks. This one is my favorite.

 I'll start with the Dalek.
Dalek

• 2 red 2x3 angled plates
• 1 red 1x1 plate
• 1 red 1x2 plate
• 1 red 1x3 plate
• 2 black faucets
• 2 black 1x1 bricks with four side studs
• 1 black lever
• 1 black 1x1 plate with ring
• 2 black 1x1 round plates
• 3 black small radar dishes
• 1 black 1x2 plate
• 1 transparent light blue 1x1 round plate

In the picture and the model itself, only one of the 3 radar dishes is shown. This is because I simply could not find two more black radar dishes.

 First, stack the two black round plates in between the two bricks with side studs.

 Now take the black 1x2 plate and stack the red 1x1 plate and the plate with ring on it.

 Add the red 1x2 plate...

 And attach it to the front as shown.

 Now add the 2x3 angled plates to the sides.

 And the 1x3 plate to the back.

 Put the lever and one of the faucets on the ring to form the plunger and laser.

 Add the three radar dishes. Or, in my case, one.

 Now top with the faucet and blue round plate to form the eyestalk.

Exterminate! Exterminate!

 Here's something for the classic Who fans...  K-9!

 K-9

• 1 gray 2x4 plate
• 1 gray 2x2 brick
• 1 gray 2x2 angled brick
• 2 gray jumper plates
• 1 gray 1x2 plate
• 1 gray 1x2 tile
• 1 gray 1x1 plate
• 1 gray 1x1 tile
• 1 gray and black lever
• 1 gray 1x1 tile with vertical clip
• 1 black 1x1 round plate

 Stack the bricks on the 2x4 plate

 Put the jumper plates and the 1x2 tile on top.

 Add the tail and neck to the jumper plates (The lever and round plate).

 Put the 1x2 plate and the 1x1 plate on the round plate.

 Now add the 1x1 tile and 1x1 tile with clip to finish his head.

Affirmative master!

I've heard rumors that an official Doctor Who LEGO set could be coming soon! I sincerely hope with both of my hearts that it's true.
