Thanks a lot guys. It means a lot to know people like it.

I've just posted my entry titled "A Brief History of Toilets". Enjoy!

Entry # 21: A Brief History of Toilets Thinking about an original LEGO Theme for this contest, I somehow managed to come up with minifig scale toilet models (they're a big part of our life so why not), then I thought about making more models for a single theme and this idea was born. With this theme I aim mainly at humour, playability and overall fun. The sets are very small which means they would come at a very low price and could serve as add-on sets for different themes and also as display pieces demonstrating the evolution of these indispensable appliances. First I'd like to bring up the castle toilet and the space toilet. These two sets are not only based on real toilets but are also made to fit in with the LEGO Castle theme and the LEGO Classic Space theme, which I know to be the most popular. With that said I will show all the sets in the correct order, that is from the most primitive to the most sophisticated. 1. A Hole The most primitive of all. It is nothing but a hole in the ground. With this set, you get a basic landscape with a hole in the ground, a pile of what was in the hole before the hole was made and a bearded man holding a shovel used to dig the hole and a few leaves for...well...you know what for. 2. The Pit Latrine Still very primitive, the only thing better about it is that the hole is prepared for you. In this case the faeces drop through the floor of the cabin. These are still used in some places. It comes with a man holding toilet paper, a cabin, suspended over a pile of "what people left there" and a bit of trans. green smell coming out of it. 3. The Castle Toilet The Castle toilet is exactly like the one used in medievel castles. It is like the pit latrine with more style. It has a primitive wooden seat, connected to a shaft which leads to the moat. I've also added a knight, who sits on the toilet with a frightened shy expression, trying to cover "that which none should see" with his shield and sword. 4. The Flushing Toilet This is the one we use today. It is very sophisticated with a flushing mechanism that washes the bowl after every visitor. The set comes with a modular washroom with a model toilet, sink, toilet paper holder and a plunger. The minifig has the air of one pushing very hard and holds a newspaper to keep busy. 5. The Space Toilet This is a model of the toilet used on the ISS (International Space Station). It includes a toilet with compressed-air tanks used to push out the contents of the toilet bowl before they float away in zero-gravity. It also has a dedicated hose for liquids which make a very big mess without gravity. There are many more possibilities for this theme like the prehistoric plumbing toilet used by the Minoans on Crete but I've decided to only make these five sets because I couldn't fit more into five photos.(rules) Thank you. I used a new colour/piece combo: Part#: 64230 Name: SPIRAL TUBE W. TUBE STUD Color: 24 - Bright Yellow, 26 - Black Vote now!!! Please, also check out my projects on LEGO Ideas

Thank you :-)

The uploader keeps showing me this line: You can upload up to Uploading is not allowed of files (Max. single file size: 128MB) And when I try uploading it writes this: Error This upload failed It worked before and now it just stopped. Any help would be appreciated, thank you

That's exactly what makes it so likeable...the fact that there isn't much to like about it Oops, ok I'll keep that in mind Thank you, and that is just another aspect of this project's coolness: primarily it's just a play feature for, maybe, attacking a LEGO city but it also is an actual piece of equipment used by lots of people every day. I will post the LDD file when it gets more support (maybe 1000 but probably less), just to give people a reason to support. Thanks for the feedback, please check out my other project, too. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/133316 Eurobricks post: http://www.eurobrick...opic=122961&hl=

If you like my Claw, please support on LEGO Ideas to make it a real set. In this MOC, I used a system of beams working as levers and push rods to carry the movement from the handle to the claw. I also used springs to make the whole mechanism reset when you let go and a couple of rubber parts to give the claw a good grip. The result is this amazingly useless, yet immensely cool thing that can hold a weight of more than 2 kg! To demonstrate, I made a video of it lifting the huge LEGO Technic bulldozer. (the video can be found on the page linked above) For a further description and some more photos please visit the link and also check out the update when there. Thank you

I've installed it on my MAC with no problem and it is running but it nor I can find the db.lif file. I've tried the line ~/Library/Application Support/LEGO Company/LEGO Digital Designer as I've learnt I should but it says the folder doesn't exist. What should I do? Thank you, in advance

No, I didn't base it on a specific robot. And I didn't use the same walking pattern, which means the feet are a bit different and yes, they are so big to help him stay upright.

The all time classic toy of the 20th century and to me the coolest toy right after LEGO now finally in brick form! This is my project for LEGO Ideas. It uses a classic blocky body and cubic head design to make it simple and cute. It is, as you can see,decorated with a control panel on the chest, a face with two scary red eyes and a cool little window on it's back that lets you watch the mechanism at work. And it can really walk!!! Let me know which colour and which design (arms, antennas, etc.) you like more Thank you. If you like it, please support on LEGO Ideas.
