Meet the Competitors...

On Lego Masters, each of the competitors makes a "minifig" of themselves. H decided we should do that too, so here we are!


How it all started

Our family has been watching a show called Lego Masters. We decided it would be fun to
have our own Lego building competition. We went to Target to get three 900 part Classic box sets for the challenges and then we went to the LEGO store at The Mall of America to get bricks of our choice. At Target we also got 3 tubs with bins for the Lego parts that we were using for the challenges. 

The way it all works is we got our bricks, we pick a theme, we build together and then we get the judges to score the builds. We will eventually share this blog with the judges so they can understand how it works and score the builds. Our plan is to complete 10 builds.

Mom’s comment: This is especially fun for our family as we are spending our evenings
in and together with the COVID-19 “apocalypse.” H will be writing most of the blog posts,
and will be our primary photographer.
