Legos...

Lately The Boy is in a Lego phase.  He has dragged out a few kits that he never put together, a few sets of directions for kits he did and took apart, and has created a lot of new things.  He even recently submitted one of his creations to Lego Club magazine (don't worry, we'll let you all know if it is published).  Todays project is a hybrid--a kit built Millenium Falcon, with some after market modifications.

 Mr IM pointed out a few things to notice (you may need to enlarge the photo to get the full effect...

The outside steering wheel (manned by Yoda, in this photo)

The top mounted (extra large) cannon

The rainbow of "repair" Legos to replace missing parts and/or add additional features.










Notice also that Yoda and the steering wheel seem to be removable --perhaps an escape pod?

And as a bonus, you can see all the dirty dishes and misc. junk that inhabits my kitchen table a great deal of the time.  Nice.
