Lego Junkie Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 After the rousing success that was the Portal project, we decided to go for a non-IP related Cuusoo project. Since the FOL community has been clamoring for a Steampunk line from TLC for a while, we decided to try and fill that gap! That being said, I present to you the Adventures of Steamrod! Steamrod on Cuusoo! by Lego Junkie., on Flickr Set in an alternate future where steam-powered technology never fell out of use, this project proposes an exciting set packed full of detailed vehicles and minifigures. The set that we are proposing is designed as a one-off tribute to Steampunk and LEGO's Adventurers characters, so the set is fairly large and includes seven exclusive minifigures. This set would appeal to Steampunk and LEGO fans alike, because of the creative building techniques and pieces used to construct the greatly varied and colorful vehicles. In addition to many desirable recoloured pieces, there would be a mixture of stickers and printed pieces to enhance the details and realism of the set, allowing the pieces to be useful for Steampunk, historic and general MOCs. The story behind the characters of this project is similar to that of the Adventurers LEGO theme, except naturally set in a fantasy Steampunk world, with more dramatic vistas and mystical treasures. Each character would have their own quirks and talents, and there is a clear distinction between the forces of good and evil.

jamesster Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I can honestly say I've never been so excited for a Cuusoo project before. I supported yesterday morning around the 200 mark - and the amount of supporters has doubled since then! Great stuff! Quote
Algernon Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 By far the most interesting Cuusoo theme to date. Supported, and I hope you get to the 10,000 mark. Quote
tchuk-norst Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Supported! I really want this one to pass. Great throwback to Johnny Thunder, but the steampunk looks great! Quote
