Winning Model: Sun Fun Playground
I was inspired by my brother Kyler who builds all the time. I got the idea for the Sun Fun Playground because I love to play outside. We have a playhouse in our backyard and I love to play on the playground and rock wall at school. I used bricks, micro K'NEX and standard K'NEX a total of 210 pieces. It took me a few days to make.
