Some of you may know I’m very enthusiastic about the prospect of for working as a designer at LEGO, this would help me get familiar and practice the work process as a real LEGO designer would. Step by step you will discover the background of the design process in The LEGO Group, It will also contain a LEGO set I designed myself for the project; such as the experiments, sketch models and sketches. The portfolio of this project will be uploaded to Flickr and Youtube. I plan to finish it off very soon and it will be up before October 2014. Note: I’m not affiliated with The LEGO Group; all information for the project has been provided by my knowledge of The LEGO Group though various resources such as books and the internet. Quote

andyscouse Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 The dog model looks a bit like Dr Who's K-9 ... Quote
Adeel Zubair Posted September 25, 2014 Author Posted September 25, 2014 @andycouse well it was used to inspire the alternative model. Quote
Brandon Miller Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 That is simply fantastic. I've been studying your photos to figure out your build techniques so I can build this for my son. Quote
Adeel Zubair Posted September 26, 2014 Author Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Brandon Miller, Thanks I really appreciate that; it made my day. How you would like to see how to build the models? Adeel Edited September 26, 2014 by Adeel Zubair Quote

harakiri Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Awesome Robot! Thanks for posting the instructions. Hope I have the necessary parts :-) Quote
Adeel Zubair Posted October 3, 2014 Author Posted October 3, 2014 ^I did try to keep the parts simple as possible without it being too basic; it's LEGO Creator after all :) If you do mange to build it, I would be grateful for any feedback, reviews or pictures of the built models. Quote
Fuppylodders Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I love these styles of robots, I think they have a very classic robot feel about them. Your design appears to bring it forward the next step with the 3d movement of the limbs while keeping the classic look. I really like it! Im just slightly unsure of the colour scheme... For some reason 3 colours seems a bit too 'busy' iI you know what I mean? I think sticking with any of the 2 colours of the red/blue/yellow would work really well... But that is how my mind sees it, maybe it wouldnt be so good if done in real life? Either way, excellent design! Quote
jonwil Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 I just love these robots and love the way you have thought just like a set designer, this looks so good you could almost (if it was presented right) pass it off as a real set. Quote
Adeel Zubair Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 ^I will take that idea into consideration as several people have asked to build these for their children and to me that is the best response ever which I didn't ever expect. Quote
Brandon Miller Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I have nearly all the pieces I need to build this for my son. I will let you know how the build goes. Quote
Adeel Zubair Posted October 11, 2014 Author Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) ^Thanks, I hope your son enjoys it, happy building! Edited October 11, 2014 by Adeel Zubair Quote

Andy D Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 @Adeel -- Very, very impressive. I am not sure I have seen a fan created 3-in-1 before. Thanks for the LXF files. As a Doctor Who fan I really like your Robo Dog. I plan to build them at some time. I don't often support Ideas projects, but yours is an exception. Thanks for sharing this. Andy D Quote
