Today, my daughter Samantha created a model aeroplane out of lego – without any intervention from me (except for a few encouraging ‘You go Girl!” type comments). She also took time out of her busy schedule to explain the various elements of an aeroplane to me. I had no idea they were so complicated…

I wouldn't have thought it could fly with the dinosaur that far from the helicopter, but I was never very good at aerodynamics...d1rge said 1651 days ago:
I love the 2-gate design... sheer genius.Jon Hicks said 1651 days ago:
I know - 2!! Thats forward thinking at its best. It means the grassy area can approached from 2 different directions!Matt Burris said 1651 days ago:
That's really cute. That would make one fascinating airplane.It makes me wish I have a daughter right now. Good old Legos, a timeless toy that, amazingly enough, shares the same box model of the web.

"Good old Legos, a timeless toy that, amazingly enough, shares the same box model of the web."Except that when you add legos to the perimiter of you creation the entire thing doesn't stay the same size... maybe

Joey said 1649 days ago:
Book me on the first flight. If this plane can fit a mountain and a dinosaur, maybe I could finally get some leg room!Nice work, Samantha!
0zone said 1649 days ago:
Heh, don't know about the leg room, the table looks like its a little close to the chair, perhaps you could put your feet up though ;)Ruben said 1646 days ago:
This is the small stuff, 0zone. For such excellent dinosaurs you need more than Duplo.Neil Vodka said 1646 days ago:
Just wondered how such a cracking site ended up in my R Logs? Fantastic stuff here. =)Chetan said 1643 days ago:
Beautiful. I have a kid who does to You go boy to me (and I'm forced to build one for her). LOL.For the intro: Hi, I'm Chetan. You have a wonderful website.

I'm never been on a plane (I'm scared of them dropping out of the sky with no warning) but I would totally fly on that plane your daughter made. All the luxuries one needs, and an added dinosaur!Also, we seem to be reading the same book. Krokystrokiskiaskya.
