Leonardo Da Vinci

One of my favorite inventors is Leonardo Da Vinci. He lived from 1492-1452 and is the definition of a  Renaissance Man. He was an inventor, artist, and scientist. He was a true genius and was probably smarter than Einstein. With that backstory, let me introduce to you a LEGO Ideas project that is a model of one of Leonardo's inventions, a flying apparatus.

The apparatus worked like a screw. Because of this, when Leonardo's patron asked what he was drawing and after Leonardo's answer, the patron would responded "you screwed everything up!"
 This is what the invention looked like in Leonardo's journal

I know that LEGO Idea rules say that they will not accept any history ideas, but Leonardo is outside of time, a larger than life figure. Support here!

Sinking German

Since the flying Dutchmen means German in German more or less (more on the less side), does this mean that the flying Dutchmen means a flying German? What does flying have to do with anything? What if it sinks, does it become a Sunk German. Never mind.
Speaking of the flying Dutchmen Someone on LEGO Ideas has done a fabulous job replicating it in LEGO.

 
The link for the spectacular build is here I appreciate all the hard work that went into finding the right pieces to make it more life-like.

How to train you Godzilla?

Funny story. My sister went to see How to Train Your Dragon 2. After all the trailers had been shown and it was time for the real movie, the screen showed a nuclear bomb in the pacific going off and a creature rising from the ocean. Someone in the audience shouted "How to Train your Godzilla" and sure enough the theater had mixed up the movies and started showing Godzilla instead of How to Train Your Dragon.
What does this have to do with Lego Ideas? Nothing much except that Stormbringer did a very good job building an accurate model of toothless on LEGO Ideas.

Exo Suit 2?

With many greebles, this build reminds me strongly of Peter ried's building style. It is very original and expertly done. He said that it took him two months from design to the finished project. I really like the details are spectacular.
I hope that if this passes review, that the LEGO company will not mess it up like how it messed up the exo suit.

Welcome!

Hello!
In my previous blog http://thelimitedlegobuilder.blogspot.com/ I have a page where I recommend different projects on the LEGO Ideas forum. The page is responsible for about 1/8 of my total views, so I decided to make a new blog.
If you have not made for yourself a Lego Ideas account already then I strongly suggest that you do. I will feature certain builds that are creative and original.
If you have a project that you would like me to recommend put a link to it down below in the comments.
