Ideas For new sets(Wild West)

[Brick Miner]

OK, you and Brick Miner have convinced me.

*y* *y* *y*

The only problem is that I don't know how to post pictures ... and without pictures it would be a bit difficult to show you what I've built, don't you think?! Perhaps somebody would be so nice to tell me how to post pictures.

posting an image is easy... i would first suggest creating an account on brickshelf.com to host your images. the next step is to link them here.

i think there is a "deeplink" tutorial somewhere on this board... that is the process i would suggest for getting your images to appear in an EB thread.

I actually do better indian sets than towns that have saloons and such :-D

The real hard part is the secret entrance

I want to make so the inside can be easily acessed but right now its quite hard to get into X-D

I'm thinking about using a..........(can't give away all the suprises ;-) )

Piranha

[Piranha]

I am thinking about what name to use for the MOC

I started major redesigning today

The first version was :-/

I decided to open it up alot so now the inside can be acessed very easily

now it dosen't look like a cave so Indian Treasure Caves is much better X-D

This Idea came from KD

Thanks for sharing *y*

However I threw in a little something extra

Piranha

[WesternOutlaw]

I'm looking forward to seeing what you design.

[Piranha]

Right now I'm working on another MOC WW

A small set though

Boulder Suprise

Expect that one early fall :-)

Early Fall? That's a bit long, isn't it. Are you taking lessons from Brick Miner. ;-)

Hehe Okee

A little bit after the Indian Treasure Caves

I decided to changed the name to

Bandits Suprise

The boulder feature I planned on using didn't work at so well

:-D :-D :-D

in my defense, i think im getting good enough (and have acquired enough extra WW specialty pieces) that i am ready to publish an MOC every 3 months... previously i was doing every 4 months.

i like to keep a schedule, that way i offer something fresh, consistently, to the AFOL community. that way people don't forget about me ;-) but right now, i have around 5 MOCs that are all ready to be released, so there is no reason to keep them on a 4 month release schedule !!! and an every three months schedule will still give me time to produce my next batch of MOCs ;-)

--------------------------------------------------

perfection takes time,... from now till early fall sounds like a good amount of time to produce an MOC piranha ;-) and i hear your waiting on pieces from BL, that can really slow building time down, and even bring it to a halt at times.

[Piranha]

Well just expect the unexpected :-D

So the two WW MOCs I am working on and will be ready soon

Indian Treasure Caves

Bandits Boulder Suprise

Then after that I will browse this forum again for some ideas X-D

I live along way from any continent and it takes about two weeks to recieve orders from the mainland USA

That's nice to read that somebody will create a set after the original set idea of mine. I'm looking forward to see your MOC set, Piranha.

Two new set proposals:

Wild West Fort Legoredo Outpost

a cottage as army outpost

including some barrels, a big barrel, a horse, a cannon, two cups and a glass

minifigs: captain, sergeant, soldier and robber

Wild West Hold-Up At The Spring

a little spring with some rocks and a shrub

including a horse and a pot

minifigs: cowboy and robber

By the way: I built a MOC yesterday and so I'll present my set proposal Wild West Hold-Up On The Governor in the near future if I get managed to post pictures.

sounds very similar to my FRONTIER OUTPOST #6742 MOC ive been working on ;-) except mine is more like a watch tower thingy...

Nice. Let me share the description of my Haunted Mill:

Alone in the outskirts of Grave Stone stands Sutter's Mill, long-since abandoned since the great gold rush. Two treasure seekers are venturing into the old mill in search of the lost map of the one-eyed prospector, Tex Grimwell. Rumor has it that old Tex found the "Mother Load" after years of searching in the desert sometime before going mad. He and his gold was never found but some say that he left a map to his discovery, hidden somewhere in Grave Stone. Strange lights have been seen near Sutter's Mill and some even say that the place is haunted. Others say that it would be best if Sutter's Mill was burned to the ground along with the horrible evil that lies in Grave Stone.

My other MOCs can be found here: GRAVE STONE

Cool little story there :-)

I got that idea from the Calico Gold mine

I remember going there,it was fun

Panning for fools gold is harder than it looks :-D

I had another good idea but it seems to have slipped my mind

The ride at Knotts Berry Farm, or the real Ghost Town?

The stories of a "mother load" and also the Lost Dutchman's Mine/Gold have been around a long time as legends of the Wild West. The stories have always intrigued me as well, and probably why I wrote the story into Grave Stone legend.

I'm really impressed with yours and the many other ideas that individuals are sharing as thoughts for new WW sets. If only more people showed interest, we could hope to see Lego re-visit the WW theme.

[Piranha]

The real ghost town

I like the knotts berry farm ride too though

The WW train were they "pretend to rob you" is also fun to ride

Along with the stagecoach ride which is cool too especially when you get to ride on the top

They have a whole area of western shops

Probably my fav area of Knotts

Me too. I'll share some pics sometime. It's a great theme park.

The ghost rider roller coaster is so much fun

A real wooden coaster :-)

I hope someday I can visit it again

Sorry but I've to tell you that, Piranha:

These ideas or ideas similar to yours were some of my ideas and ideas of other members already posted in this forum some days or weeks ago.

The only new idea is the Haunted Gold Mine. It's a very nice idea, Piranha!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the way: I'm sorry but I can't manage to post any more pictures in my first WW MOC release. I'll try to register at brickshelf at the weekend and so I hope I will present you some more pics soon. Please be patient, it's angry for me, too!

Ya now all the good ideas have been taken :-D

What to do?

There's always more ideas. One just has to think beyond the limits of what has already been done.

I'd like to think that I introduced the concept of a Ghost Town to the Lego community over two years ago. My 2nd (better wave ) of Grave Stone MOCs was intended as creations that are not so traditional to the Wild West. A foreboding Windmill (Whispering Windmill), sinister Church (Shadow Chapel), and covered Bridge (Dead Man's Bridge) are just a few of the ideas.

I have a few more ideas that I plan to build over the next few weeks.
