Hopefully this topic has discussion value o.O.

 

 

 

Sorry for new account...for reasons I can't disclose I can't post under my normal alias...Anyways, I had a bunch of LEGOs (woot) as a kid, and I'm kind of tired of them just sitting in a box doing nothing. So, I've decided to make a huge project, but I can only make one of the following and I'm not sure which would be the most awesome. Help me decide? =D

 

 

 

- An Engine: Yeah, it's been done many times before, but still, it'd be cool to have a working engine out of LEGOs.

 

- A Plane: I kinda am leaning towards this, like, an actual flying plane somehow, but it would be cool.

 

- A Helicopter: Eh, I'm more of a plane guy, because even if i did this, I'd have to figure out all the ratios for the parts so it wouldn't spin out of control, etc...

 

- A Gun: This was the original idea I had in mind before my imagination went out of control. Not like a rubber band gun, but a equal-to-or-greater force like an airsoft. Semi-auto would be cool too.

 

 

 

So OT, what sounds the coolest?

A plane would be nice, I don't see how you'd do that but I wish you luck.

Twin propeller engines on the signs connected to a motor in the body of a plane. Maybe even controllable flaps that try to keep the plane steady.

I think all of those would be incredibly hard. How would the plane or helicopter land without breaking? But the gun sounds like the coolest.

Make the plane, then super size. Next make the gun. Mount the gun on the supersized plane. Now terrorize your neighbors.

A flying lego is basically impossible. None of the gears in lego engines could handle that much, and would melt. A gun is impossible too. Unless you're shooting little tiny legos. And even then it would barely work.

 

I suggest you look at nerf guns to see the most basic springer type guns, like the nerf nightfinder. (it's like 6$).

 

There's a plunger tube, a plunger, a spring, a trigger, a catch, and a barrel. I don't think that could be done with legos.

 

I suggest making something really cool, but don't expect it to fly or whatever. The best you could do is make a helicopter/plane with spinning propellors, and maybe make the plane have working wheels.

I think a naval carrier would be quite cool.

Realists stfu and gtfo please. I'm not going to use LEGO parts and such, just for the frame etc.

I'm actually getting all the pieces from a carrier model, lol.

With that attitude no-one will make suggestions. They do have a good point.

Then its not going to be an Epic Lego Project, just an engine surrounded with legos. -.-

a plane would be cool imo :

How much Lego do you actually have?

You're asking for suggestions on what to make with legos, and advice. So when someone gives you real advice, you act like a [bleep].

 

So, if you'd rather us make up random stuff up that would be cool for you to build with legos, why don't you build a working lego space station, and a few lego rockets to get it up into orbit. Nevermind llogic, it'd be cool!

Make a life sized eifle tower.

I'd say a helicopter, since I think it would be really cool, but since it would require a lot of work a plane would be just fine. If you want, you can pm an admin and they will add a poll for you.

Not actual Lego bricks, are they? I'm not aware of any Aircraft Carrier Lego sets.

 

 

 

Guns, especially of the rubberband flavor, have been pulled off rather well in Lego form, but i suggest you make a plane.

The most feasible project would be something that goes. Realistically, the epitome of what the average person could do would be a go-kart or similiar small car contraptions. That's what you should be aiming for, especially initially.

I can't understand why a new alias had to be made over some LEGOs...Maybe over a girl, that's understandable, but LEGOs? Where's the harm?

 

 

 

Anyway, I say build a scale mobel of an '88 Delorean. Include a flux capacitor :thumbup:

maybe the OP got banned for another thread and needs to post under another one because of it?

A plane is concievable, but there's a lot that goes into making them. Especially the electronics. My dad builds and flies model foam planes, and I'm usually there helping him, so I mostly know what I'm talking about. It's more than hooking a battery to a motor and going. But if you already have that clear, you could potentially build the frame out of Legos. The elevator and such could, too, but you would have to get actual plane servos in order to make them move. Some of the parts can be fairly expensive, even the cheap ones. And then there's no guarantee you'll ever actually manage to fly it. A car or something would be far easier.

If you could make a working one, then a plane would be pretty sick.

Make the gun use had suggested... I'm pretty sure lego has made plenty of lauch systems. I think their bionicles have now got laucher things but they are pretty weak though.

Air plane, although i dont think it will fly, maybe go up then fall and crash, unless of course your in the Hudson river :ohnoes:
