Seaplane

In addition to building MOCs (My Own Creations), it's also a lot of fun modifying existing LEGO sets into something slightly different. Here's something I built a few years ago, a seaplane based on the passenger jet in the 2010 Airport set.

First I shortened the fuselage, and moved the wings to the top of the aircraft.

For comparison, here's a shot of the plane I started with:

Oil Tanker

Here's something I made a few years ago (and previously posted on my other blog).

The hull is obviously from a Police set - I'm not going to remove (or "Photoshop out") the decals for the sake of accuracy. Basically, I used parts from:

A police rescue boat
A police double-rotor rescue chopper
A garbage truck
A fishing boat

And turned them into THIS!
