With my 8 year son Jacky we visited a toy store (while my wife was in a cloth store). I offered him the Lego 60164 box of twin-boom flying boat, sea rescue, with a kind of contract between us: he will build it "perfectly" then photograph it, then I will transform it for fun, then he will chose his favourite way forever...

Here is what he built, OOB:

And I tried an asymmetric derivative, Reskyakya:

Then he restored it back to what he had built himself...

My son Jacky has changed his mind and wanted to invent new shapes like Daddy. He produced 11 new kinds, I will show you tomorrow...

Cool!  Brings back memories... I used to take completely random LEGO bits from various kits and made airliners and bombers and such.  :mellow:

Tophe

Jacky #3: a simple pusher
