Olympics Lego Creations - 26 August 2012

Diving Board (Summer) and Ski Jump (Winter) Olympics by Samuel

Here are my two creations that I made for the Olympics.  One is Winter Olympics and one is Summer Olympics.

The diving one - I like diving off high boards even though it is scary
sometimes.  It took ages but I made a really big tower with two divingboards.  The diver is wearing a wetsuit and she did a quadruple backflip and then landed.  The green board is the water, but I couldn't find any blue.

 

The skiing I did because when I'm away I'm going to be skiing and I like
doing ski jumps.  The two platforms are little mountains.  The guy is on
skis with black ski poles.  He's wearing a helmet with glass in the front
for safety because he's about to do two back flips followed by five front
spins.  He's wearing husky ski pants made of sheep wool and green alien
t-shirt.  He's a pro and came first at the Olympic stunts.

Soccer Stadium, Diving and Changing Room by Henri

There is a zombie who is the referee and he has a pistol as a whistle.  Mexico is playing England and one of the Mexican people has hurt himself - there is a hospital guy who is carrying him away.  There are two goalkeepers - one has a sword. There are 123 people in the stand.  

There are two people playing tennis in the next photo - but one lost his racquet and anyway he's really bad in tennis, he was just hte best in his country.  There are two boxing people - one is the world champion, but there's a hole in the wall on the champion's side because they want him to lose.  

 

 There is also a BMX guy - he has a pistol and dynamite on the back of his bike.  After the Olympics he's going on a mission.  And there are some horses, they do jumping and there is a jump with barrels and a bush jump.

 In my last picture, there is a jeep and a mini car in the carpark.  And I made a changing room too and a diving board - there is a person who is about to break the world record in diving.

 Olympic BMX Track by Noah 

There is a New Zealander and he is waiting at the ramp with the fence up - the race is just about to start.  He goes down the ramp, up the jumps, around, a bit more jumps and then under the finish line.  There is a grandstand with two birds and more than 40 people.  There are also two cars.  One is a red landrover and the other is a modified pickup truck.  

I also built a sliding door on the changing room. In the changing room there are two americans, 1 New Zealander and 1 other guy.  At the finish there is a trophy and it says "finish" on the ground.  I used the gold brick at the finish line too.

It took about 1 week to build it.  Club says we like the ramps and the way you wrote "FINISH", although it looks a bit weird.

 Mix-up of 5 Olympic Sports - Otis F

I made a spring track with a camera on the side that follows the 4 sprinters.   The javelin guy has 2 spears - if he gets it to the 4th metre sign, or goes over then he gets a gold medal.  I coloured the metre markers according to what medal the participant wins if they throw that far.
Cllub says: we like the way you coloured the bricks.

 I also made the high jump, and the weightlifter - he has a made-up weight and a platform.
The camera for the sprints made of two motors from my inflatable boat. The wheels are racing car wheels.
Club says: we like the cushion which is rounded on the bottom.  Creative.  Also, it's cool how the runners are bending down. 

Track & Field and Rowing and Diving by Grainger

In the first picture there is a guy doing hamer throw in the corner, there is a guy doing air rifle with a moving target and there are two girls who are from Australia and Mexico wrestling.

In the second picture there is somebody who's going to do a double flip with a triple twist in diving. There is also a guy doing equestrian and there's also somebody doing long-jump and he might beat the world record.  On the far end there is somebody doing 400m hurdles. And there is someone doing rowing and he might beat the Olympic record.  There is also somebody doing the pole vault and another doing javelin - he's the world's best javelin thrower.  The last guy is doing Archery and his last name is Wookie.


 This last picture is a mini-soccer pitch.  It is Ireland versus England.  Ireland is just about to score, but the goalie is going to save it - he's wearing a helmet.

Hurdles, equestrian and High Board FAILURE by Lachlan 

I made the hurdles - they're really high for lego men - at the end the runner has fallen over and banged his face on the hurdle.  He wins the bronze medal.
The next bit is equestrian, the horse doesn't like this rail and crashes.
The rowing boat - i had to use a laser for one paddle. The rower is lying down because the force of the water pushed him over. 

 I made this High Dive - the pool he lands in is a mm bigger than the lego man - very small so its pretty dangerous.  He does splash in the pool, but then falls over the side of the pool.  He has a scar on his face because of it.

Weightlifting and Javelin  by Otis W

The javelin  thrower is from America and the weightlifter is Mexican because he has a bushy moustache.  The javelin thrower is trying to throw his equipment as far as he can without stepping onto the line which belnds pretty well into the ground.  He'll have to stop one stud back.  The weightlifter is just picking up his weight and its 200lbs. 
Club says very impressive quick building.

Adventure Sports by Harry

On the 10metre diving board a lady diver is about to do a backwards tuck jump.  The man who just dived is swimming away.  His legs are underwater.  Club says: we like the splashes in the water.

 At the shooting  competition there are 4 guys.  The first one is a Russian - he's shooting. The second guy who will shoot next is a New Zealander, and he has red hair. The guy with the big hat is Chinese.  The last guy is an American.

The weird thing that is by the path onto the shooting range is a box of spare ammunition.

Club says:  We like how you made the target. 





Mahe Drysdale a New Zealander is in a  boat - he has just won a Gold Medal.
