One of my fellow LUG members and regular Brickset tipster Murphquake just alerted me to some Cuusoo projects posted by new ILUGNY member C3brix. I’m using it as an excuse to post about the newly discovered projects, and some other projects by ILUGNY member SonicStarlight:
First up: Ghostbusters Ultimate Collection (http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/35110)
Not sure where to start on this one. Maybe I’ll just throw it out there that I had the Kenner Ghostbusters Firehouse playset (https://www.google.com/search?q=kenner+ghostbusters+firehouse) when I was a kid, and C3brix‘ rendition is way cooler. There are many Ghostbusters projects on Cuusoo, but this is by far the largest and most detailed. I’m not going to make any guesses on what LEGO might say about the license, but it was a Saturday morning cartoon for a while.
Next at bat: STARTREK NCC-1701 STARSHIP ENTERPRISE (http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/35107)
Again, from C3brix, it’s an excellent reproduction of the enterprise from the new Star Trek franchise (which from what I understand, is a significantly larger ship than the NCC-1701 we knew and loved from TOS). With a new Star Trek movie coming out this summer, it might be time for LEGO to cash in on the trekkie fan base.
Switching gears: Galaxy Diner and Empire Theater (http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/10585)
This theater and attached diner from prolific modular builder SonicStarlight is great, not only for the great aesthetic on the outside, but the detail on the inside. There are tons of pictures of it on flickr, and we’ve even got the ldd file for a mini version here: GDET Mini Modular
Last but certainly not least: Bricklyn Borough Courthouse (http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/10475)
Another one of SonicStarlight’s creations, this is an immense building, and is simply jam packed full of awesome. From the hexagonal floor patterns, to the office equipment and elevators, there’s a lot going on in this building. To give you a sense of size, the LEGO modular town hall is dwarfed by this building.
Anything else?
So, today I found out about two Cuusoo projects I didn’t know about, and took some time to grandstand about some projects that deserve more attention. Anyone else have projects on Cuusoo that they’ve been keeping a secret?
