After posting many war related projects, I thought I would take a break and post a peaceful project for a change.

  I really like the yellow and orange leaves. They would be great for fall scenes. You can support this here.

Octan Racing LMP-1

Even though I have not seen a single real car race in my life, I know a good build when I see one. Below I compared the LEGO Idea's project to the actual race car.





I think that manuelcara3 did a great job making the build so accurate. It was always hard for me to build real life builds, because of my limited LEGO collection. You can support this project here.

Non-original projects vs. Original projects

I have noticed that projects at LEGO Ideas that are based off of some form of media initially get a boost of supporters from the fan community, but then after the fan base on LEGO Ideas it takes a long time if ever to reach 10K votes. If you look at the approved ideas you will notice that most of them are original creations, or non-original creations that are popular. This is why I suggest that if you want an idea to reach 10k votes, to post an original idea, unless your non-original idea is extremely popular.

"What do trees have to talk about? The consistancy of squirrel droppings?"

Thus the famous words of Grimly when he learns that the trees in Fangorn Forest talk. The trees may not have anything to talk about, but we have a lot to talk about trees. Theses trees are worth talking about. The birdhouse is a very nice detail along with the rough "wood" look.

I would buy this set just for the red tree pieces! If the builder would separate the trees into individual sets, it would make the set more affordable.

"Huston, A blue astronaut is yelling 'SPACESHIP' at five o'clock, should we inform him that sound does not travel in space?"

I have always loved space and spaceships, which is why I want to point out this realistic space shuttle made by Teazza.
Building in micro scale has always frustrated me, because you have to find the right peice to do a very specific job. You can support this project here.

Happy Columbus Day!

Thank you Christopher Columbus for discovering the New World. Thanks to you we have footprints on the Moon, interferometers, and internet. To celebrate his discovery. I dug up a Columbus themed project on LEGO Ideas.

This was probably one of the best original sailing ships on LEGO Ideas. I hope LEGO accepts this despite saying that they would not accept any history Ideas. Click here to support.

Maximous

I was fortunate to be able to raise an orphaned squirrel for a month. I found the squirrel when it was so young, its eyes where not even open. I looked around for a nest or some place where its parents would be but I found none. I then took it in and watched it grow into its teenage years and named it Maximus, which translates as greatest in Latin. Because it is illegal to own a wild pet, I had to give the squirrel to a squirrel rehabilitator. This is why I love squirrels to this day and I could not resist supporting this LEGO squirrel idea.

Support this squirrel for Max!! You can support this project here. Do not give any animal that is not native to the Audubon Society because they will euthanize any animal that is not native.

Goblins where named goblins because they always gobble down their food. Speaking of Goblins, support this highly detailed and well thought out build.


 
I like the SNOTs used on the side of the arrow loops. Support this well-greebled build here.

A working LEGO Microscope

I did not think it was possible to make a working LEGO microscope, but carl.Merriam has done what I thought to be impossible. What a feat, to make the microscope look real, and make it actually functional!

One of the problems that I see in this project, is not being able to focus adequately. It is a working LEGO microscope, so I will not complain. Support this project here. I would really like one of those chrome swords. If I put the sword on an Android device, it would be google chrome!

My first project

After having a blog about LEGO Ideas, one would think that I have a project on LEGO Ideas. Now I do!
Because I like space, theoretical physics, math, and LEGO, I have been disappointed at how unrealistic the LEGO space set themes have become. My project is a small, inexpensive planetary lander that has play value, and is realistic. the link is here. Please support!

  
I have a riddle. If you tell ten people to support my project, and those ten people tell ten others and those tell ten others and those tell ten other..... I will have very few supporters. How is this possible. Place your answer down below in the comments.

TESLA RSS-15

After posting that other spaceship, I realized how a spaceship really fits in with my Terra background. On that proverbial note, I just wanted to point out another original spaceship that is worthy of support.


I really like the greebles. Support this project here.

Spaceship! SpaceSHIP! SPACESHIP!!!!

Finally a good spaceship that is not from any form of media or literature and not classic space! A completely original spaceship, that would make Benny proud.


I like the fact that it is so large that it pacts a lot of functionality. You can support this spaceship here.
