Lego Design by Me Star Wars Sets.

I've love to do some Star Wars themed Lego Design by me, but you can't use Star Wars Mini figures in Lego Design by me because of intellectual property rights.

I helped my daughter build the Lego Star Wars Lukes Landspeeder at Christmas, that was a great set.  Now she keeps pestering me, demading she wants the Lego Star Wars Droid Escape Pod all the time!

Personally I'd really like to buy and build Bobba Fett's Lego Space Ship 'Slave 1' I keep thinking about letting off Design by me and getting the Lego Star Wars Slave 1 Set but despite it looking great, I think the fun is as much in the design as the building.

I'm, still working on my giant battle cruiser design with crew quarters - that should be my most impressive Lego Design by Me set to date!  But It's not going to be cheap, it's going to cost over £200 in parts I reckon and It's a long way from finished...

My daughter also keeps going on about the Lego Death Star, It looks fantastic - but £300 for Lego !?

Lego Cuusoo : The 2 Man Star Raider.

I've had some really positive feedback on my 2 Man Star Raider craft as shown in last weeks post.

2 Man Star Raider Craft.

People particularly seem to like the design of the cockpit.

Getting in.

Back of the Cockpit.   

If you'd like to see this two seater patrol craft in production you can vote for it on Lego Cuusoo

It would need a tiny bit of work to make it production quality - mainly the canopy over the cockpit.  I did the best I could with the Lego Design by me pallette, but a there isn't a decent two seater hinged canopy in the Lego Design by me pallette - so I had to improvise.

Despite design by me ending I am still working on Design by me sets, the next project is a large battlecruiser, with pilots seat, co-pilots seat, captains control chair, 3 command stations, 6 berths, a galley and an officers mess.

How will I order it?  With no more Lego Design by me the only way will be through the pick a brick service. 

I'm experimenting with this by buying a second copy of the LCX1 Fighter I designed for my nephew - he's built it now but I still haven't seen it - so I'm getting my own through pick a brick - but with no instructions or box...
