Ah the good old days. Typwriters with no erase buttons to arase mustacks

Steam Punk is a fun theme to build on, but the idea behind it is rather impossible because electricity would inevitably have to be discovered. Despite this bias I knew that this steam punk typewriter was worthy of support.

One of my projects is to create a LEGO keyboard using just the electronic components of a real keyboard, while building the rest out of LEGO. Those letters on the keys are essential to make it workable. You can support this project here.

Earth's last defense... Again?

I do not know how many last "defense" or last "hope" themed builds original or non-original are on LEGO Ideas, but it is the build I care for and NicolasJoos has done a great job at that.
 
I think that the greebles are exceptional, and it would make a great desk ornament. You can support it here.

Fun fact: Hollywood has destroyed New York about 25 times in movies.

Atom Shadow

I want to point out this surprisingly unknown beautifully constructed peice of art built by Talebuilder. I could speak in hyperboles for a long time about this ship, but instead I will highly recommend that you support it.

You can support this masterpiece here.

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.
