Top 10 Strangest (or Coolest...) Lego Creations

Most people know that I'm semi wild on Legos. It's a fantastic winter and rainy day hobby!

Legos are a throwback to my youth when I built 1/32 scale model cars. These days Legos are a much safer alternative without any styrene glue and spray paint brain damaging chemicals to inhale! Plus I don't have any siblings around to destroy what I've built, now that we are grownups.

Presently, I am somewhat exhausted from trying to build grand Lego masterpieces in the middle of the night, as they can be quite noisy digging through the three 22 gallons storage bins that I have them in. Thus I was kicked out of the kitchen to craft my hobby in the garage.

I had the wild idea that I would try to build a structure that used every possible piece of Lego on hand - which only made a small dent in my inventory. I buy my Legos from eBay in bulk by the pound, so I get a mish-mash of all kinds of pieces. I then sort them into ZipLoc baggies by color and shape. Then the building begins!

My original concept was an aircraft carrier, but it was 5 feet long, which took up too much kitchen table space, so I chopped it down to 24 inches. Thus the carrier morphed into a battleship/cruise ship/Red Cross hospital/space ship hybrid built in a modular fashion for multiple tier future-add-on building. If I build any higher, it would aesthetically be too top heavy (and ugly), so I somewhat in a stuck mode.

Here's it is... the base part:

It's kinda cool ... and somewhat strange... but nothing like these unusual Lego creations...
