Creator 4918 Jet

Just like with the 3 in 1 set for the car and truck we dissasembled the existing model, the rescue copter 4918 and tried another model with one of the other sets of directions. Justin was psyched to build this little jet and did a great job all by himself. I helped find some of the pieces because we had taken it and a couple other sets apart the day before and had to put away all the loose pieces before we could rebuild. It went quickly and Justin was zooming around the house in no time. I really like the intake vents on the forward part of the wings and the engine design on the tail of the fuselage.

Creator 4939 Truck

Justin and I took apart the remains of the car with the pop up doors from the 3 in 1 Creator set 4939 and decided to build one of the other models that the set had directions for. This Truck cab didn't take long at all to put together and Justin did a great job again being patient and following the directions. I reall like the swing out doors and the spoiler on the back of the cab. The only setback was that we were missing one of the one nub yellow angle pieces so we were short on the right side of the front bumper. I decided to use two of the dk grey pieces to make the bumper look more complete. Cool set.

City Fire Trucks! 7942 & 7239

Justin did both of these sets completely by himself. Just some supervision from Dad but otherwise he followed all of the directions and assembled all of the pieces himself. I did tie on the hoses to the small nozzle and reel pieces. These sets are really cool looking. The firemen minifigs are cool and have great equipment. We had several fires at the Police Station as soon as they were all put together... and Jenn was napping.
