Posted August 3, 201311 yr I thought it would be interesting to have a thread where we share projects from Cuusoo that we find interesting. I like seeing the range of MOCS that can be made from Lego bricks and this site has some really interesting ideas. Apologies if there is already a topic about this. Tiny Trucks-http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/17818 I find the microscale style of building to be really interesting and would love to see more Lego sets that use this style. I think this set would also make a great playset for kids with an interest in vehicles, because it could contain a wide range of trucks while still being practical in terms of storage space. Lego Mondrian-http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/4301 I think that this is a really interesting interpretation of Mondrian's work in 3D and a unique design for a house and car. I think that the micro swimming pool is a nice touch. Red Squirrel-http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/7162 and Lego Bird Series http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/16897 I think that these brick-built animals are beautiful and would make great display pieces. They also have educational potential and I would love to see sets like these released with informative Architecture-style booklets.
August 3, 201311 yr Hi, interesting idea for a thread I'm not sure if there are any others. Those builds are really cool, at the moment I don't have a cuusoo account but I'm thinking of getting one. Edited August 3, 201311 yr by Tariq j
August 4, 201311 yr This Ghostbusters one is a must. http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/36088 It's 3k away from reaching 10k
August 4, 201311 yr I do love the Mondrian model - not sure it'll get all the way on Cuusoo, but has inspired me to try something similar... :)
August 4, 201311 yr If you are a ghosthead, you should support both Ghostbusters projects on their journey towards 10k This is the other one that is anywhere near 10k: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/8058 Supporting both and pushing both over the 10k line makes it more likely that LEGO will consider a Ghostbusters set for production.
August 7, 201311 yr Author Transforming Retro Video Game Accessories- http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/14089#. I think that this is a clever idea that has a cool late-80s, early 90s feel to it. I'd love to see how the multi-form functioning of the models works.
August 8, 201311 yr The Invisible Hand: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/6650 I was a big fan from when I first saw it, and pushing this one to 10k would possibly make an Invisible Hand set more likely.
August 12, 201311 yr Author Lego Worms: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/46389. This a new project that was only put up today. I love the Worms series' quirky and absurd humour and, in my opinion, there is potential for a lot of visual variety in a Worms theme due to the variety of landscapes and the often ridiculous weapons.

I'd love to see how the multi-form functioning of the models works. That Gameboy Transformer is fantastic! Is the Transformers franchise owned by Hasbro, though? It would be difficult to get that license, since Hasbro is certainly a competitor. Nintendo's license shouldn't be that difficult to get, I assume. My interest is in the Lord of the Rings, and I love the Minas Tirith and Edoras projects. http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/36275 http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/36278 I created a smaller Lord of the Rings project in which I attempted to capture the flair of the 80s Forestmen sets and shamelessly provide the link for it here: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/45646
August 12, 201311 yr I was really hoping this would have progressed further by now, or at least TLG would have already initiated their own take on this, but the city bicycle is in need of a makeover. Or at least new variations (mountain, road, bmx, etc), especially with last years forest themed releases and previous years campers. 28 years of the same thing is way out dated, even the horse got a new look. Cuusoo Mountain Bikes
August 13, 201311 yr This Ghostbusters one is a must. http://lego.cuusoo.c...deas/view/36088 It's 3k away from reaching 10k It is now only 105 supporters away from 10,000. (I have supported it.) Let's get it passed!
August 13, 201311 yr It is now only 105 supporters away from 10,000. (I have supported it.) Let's get it passed! just 5 more now and his Tumbler made it to 10,000, I really hope we get it.
August 16, 201311 yr Started my own project. You can find it here... link removed Also the Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary that just hit 10,000 is very cool. Edited August 16, 201311 yr by Rick
August 16, 201311 yr Started my own project. You can find it here... This thread isn't for promoting your own Cuusoo projects, but for highlighting interesting Cuusoo projects. Feel free to start a topic for your MOC in the corresponding theme forum (Action in your case), but please don't just post to promote your Cuusoo project. Thanks.

August 31, 201311 yr Author Bricksauria- http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/48453. I think that this dinosaur has a lot of interesting detail and would make for an interesting display piece.
September 1, 201311 yr That Gameboy Transformer is fantastic! Is the Transformers franchise owned by Hasbro, though? It would be difficult to get that license, since Hasbro is certainly a competitor.

The Forbiddon Pool is fantastic, and both Edoras and Minas Tirith are everything you could hope for as official sets.
September 8, 201311 yr Being one who's grown up in the American driven entertainment culture, I can do without TLG licensing any more stuff from TV land and Hollywood. I think the DC3 is a great idea. I also like the Starbucks/Barnes and Noble modular building. Any product where a kid starts with a pile of bricks, some electronic components and his own imagination, well, that also gets my vote.
September 15, 201311 yr This thread isn't for promoting your own Cuusoo projects, but for highlighting interesting Cuusoo projects. But what if your own CUUSOO project is interesting? (j/k. No worries; none of the proposals I'm mentioning here is mine. I don't even have any yet, though I do intend to change that.) Some of my favorites that I'd like to see include three different projects that appeal to me as a LEGO Indiana Jones fan. The first is LEGO Indiana Jones: Major Toht's Mercedes - the proposal model could probably stand a bit of refinement, to be honest, but the underlying concept is sound. Even if the final model retained exactly the same build (which of course it wouldn't), it would still be a desirable set for LEGO Indy fans, as it would finally give us Belloq in his more iconic, off-white-suited look, along with Toht and Dietrich. Next, we have LEGO Indiana Jones: Ant Ambush - as with the above model, the proposal model here is a little on the rough side, but the set concept is solid. I'd particularly like to have this one because it would mean finally getting minifigures of Harold Oxley and/or George "Mac" McHale, plus more giant ants. Finally, there's LEGO Narrow Gauge Track System - while obviously a major part of the impetus for having this project would be to expand upon the track from The Temple of Doom, this project would have far-ranging application beyond that; I'm sure there are a lot of LEGO trains enthusiasts who would love to have a more fleshed-out narrow gauge track system than that provided by the two narrow gauge track elements that currently exist.
September 15, 201311 yr But what if your own CUUSOO project is interesting? I know you're joking, but just to be clear on our policy for promoting your own Cuusoo project(s): CUUSOO: If you have a great MOC, that is also a CUUSOO project, you may present it on EB as you would any MOC, with a single link to the CUUSOO entry. Make the title about the MOC, not the CUUSOO business; don't be too shouty, and it is likely to be tolerated. You need to be thinking: 'I want people on EB to see my MOC and comment on it. If they like it, perhaps they'll support it on CUUSOO', rather than: 'I want CUUSOO support! If I post it on EB, perhaps more people will vote!.
September 21, 201311 yr I supported Torsenfreund's Harrower-class Dreadnought recently. I thought it was really well planned MOC that could show TLG a thing or two about making appropriate cruisers and capital ships. In all honesty though, even if it were to make it to 10,000 supporters I don't thinking TLG would publish it because it doesn't fit with the current vision of star wars lego. If anything, I would want TLG to notice the avaliable space on the inside while still being able to make a grand exterior.
October 3, 201311 yr Author Micro Industry- http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/50631 I think that this is a really interesting idea for a theme with a lot of educational potential. Parthenon-http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/51807 I love the detail on this model. I think that it would work great with the architecture line. Edited October 22, 201311 yr by Teessider
