JoKo Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Let's share random ideas for TC28 ! Industrial : Braiding, knitting, sewing machine, mechanical loom, steam engine, windmill (classical or innovative), drill press, lathe, milling machine (should be able to machine some polystyrene with lego) Musical : functional guitar , metronome Weaponry : crossbow, revolver , catapult , trebuchet , DCA turret , nuke... Space & Stars : deployable satellite , astrolabe, celestial navigation device (sextant require mirrors but other solutions are possible), Solar system model , flat earth physical model Quote

Davidz90 Posted January 3 Posted January 3 -Steam engine model (or even working steam engine, technically steam is a little below Lego melting point XD) -Mechanical calculator (either general-purpose or ballistic calculator like ones on WW2 era battleships, could be connected to some shooting thing) -Some more exotic types of catapult/trebuchet (never seen one powered with electric motor) -Any sort of wind instrument (if that is possible; I have seen Lego air raid siren, so some sort of whistle/flute doesn't seem too far fetched) -Recreation of the internal mechanism of tape recorder (easier) or VHS player (hard) I already made a functional electric guitar and a crossbow in the past, and drilling press is on my list of future projects :).

pow Posted January 4 Posted January 4 - Volcano eruption model - "massage"toy (Hello Kitty styled!!!!1!!1!) - camera with iris mechanism - model of a washing machine - water mill model - Hat with clapping/flapping hands Quote
Jundis Posted January 4 Posted January 4 - Drum kit - Jigsaw - Medivel Printing Press - Mechanical Calculator - Complex lock mechanism 15 hours ago, JoKo said: Braiding machine This was always on my mind for so long, even before the contest, especially as I work in this field. But the problem is the track path below the bobbins, which is really hard to replicate with lego. There are some working machines made with bricks, but I hesitate to even try :D Quote
howitzer Posted January 4 Posted January 4 - Useless machine (a machine with a switch, which upon pressing activates mechanism that turns the switch back off) Quote
2GodBDGlory Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Lots of fun ideas! On 1/3/2025 at 3:21 PM, JoKo said: nuke... I don't think Lego has released the proper specialized parts for that build yet, but if they ever find a way to get around restrictions on radioactive materials in children's toys, it'd be an impressive choice!
