my lego designs (and sets!)
As 2008 gave way to 2009, I found myself shopping for LEGO kits for my young nephews for X'mas. On the lego.com website I discovered that they have a software tool that allows you to design and upload your own kits.
Once you've uploaded them, you can then buy the kits directly from the LEGO company. It's a no-brainer, really. The way I see it, everyone gets something:
- creative people can make the kits they've always wanted to have
- LEGO gets to keep the designs (and ideas within) that are uploaded
Additionally, once you've uploaded your designs you can make them available to the LEGO.com user community. The community can then rate the designs, comment on them, and of course buy them. Therefore, anyone interested in such "amateur" designs can buy them right alongside official LEGO kits.
And there's more. Once your kits are available on the site, anyone can download the kit designs and work on them. I've already done this with one clever little kit (see the "one man scout" design below).
Anyway, here are the kits.

A lego set modelling a fighter-bomber space craft.
lego space craft: explorer model C
This is a lego model space craft. It's a design intended for exploration and scientific discovery. Like Star Trek without all of the mindless philosophy.
lego space craft: explorer model F
This is a LEGO model of a small exploration vessel. It has a crew of two robots.
