Jack picked the topic for today's post. This is his newest Lego construction project, the Star Wars Imperial Shuttle.
At 2503 pieces and for ages 16+, it is the largest and most complex Lego project he's built so far--probably twice as big as any other.
Jack had to save up his own money to help pay for it, and even though he received a lego.com gift card for Christmas that put his earnings over the top, we made him wait until February to order it. He had a lot of Lego under the tree this year, and we thought some pacing would be good for all of us.
It arrived yesterday afternoon, and Jack worked on it straight--except for forced food breaks--until the midnight deadline we set. When he woke up this morning, he went right back to work. The whole project took him about eight hours.
That's a boy with focus. Proud would Yoda be.

Wow! Jack! The Force is strong with this one!
That's an incredible project. Good for him.
Aren't Legos a great invention? Just think of all the creativity they have sparked. I wonder how many engineers, designers, and construction workers started out with Legos.
