OT: The Kre-o to LEGO conversion project

[Tontus314]

Don't know if anyone cares, but I'm working on making the GI Joe Kre-o line out of LEGO using LDD. I'm trying to keep things as close to the source as possible, without making improvements along the way. Right now, I'm not to concerned about these being able to be built in real, so some of the pieces I use don't exist in the colors that I've used. Here are the 2 I've done so far.

Nice job. I love that Vamp. Good stuff. Oh, if only Hasbro outsourced this to LEGO instead of that other brick company.

Nice, I thought about doing the same thing. I saw a picture of a custom Lego Zartan swamp speeder a long time ago and it got me interested.

So I am buying all the joe kreo sets and originally was planning to not build the sets but just use the instructions to build out lego instead but eventually changed my mind. Some pieces were just too specialized so i bit the bullet.

Nice work!

I SO wish these were LEGO!!!

I guess the up side of them being Kreo is that I save money in not buying them.....although I am tempted...

I was thinking of trying to get some of the parts from this set and try making a W.H.A.L.E:

Funny you should mention that. I made this a few months ago on LDD thinking I'd actually be able to build it. Turns out LDD's basic mode also includes bricks in colors that don't exist, so it isn't buildable in it's current form.

Got the RAM Cycle done. Even with superglue this thing wouldn't be possible in real life. Also, not sure what's causing the square effect in front of the gun.

So do I. I actually have the set and intended to try it. Never got around to it, though. I also wanted to put the bottom wheels on the Clone Republic tank to give it a better hover movability effect.
