Monster Truck

I made this monster truck because we went to a monster truck race last night. I received this foam kit from my Mom for Christmas. The foam is really easy to work with, but it was hard to figure out how to make the truck. It came in a kit, but I built the monster truck using my own idea. You can buy the kits at amazon.com HERE, but my mom got a deal at Big Lots.

( I called it ' Big Foot', but I should have called it 'Little Foot')

Chinese Stars

I first made these for my ninja halloween costume. They can be sharp or blunted. I made them by cutting a star shape out of cardboard. Then I covered it with foil duct tape. The foil duct tape is different than regular duct tape because it is metal and has a sticky peal off backing.

Submarine Battle Map

When I started this project, I planned to only use one piece of paper. But I soon got carried away and used over 10 pieces.

My brother and I drew boats and submarines all along the entire length of the map. We are still adding to it. The battle is me against my brother.

Greek Temple

I made this greek temple in my free time because I thought it might be interesting. I've always been fascinated with greek mythology.

It was simple to make. I just rolled up paper for the columns and then I drew a dragon on the center column.

Valentines Castle

This is my valentines box. I took a box and added turrets and paper towel rolls with hot glue. Then,  I painted it silver and attached lego guys on it with hot glue.
