Follow Up On Thornatus Wheel Tower Idea

I brought up this idea in a previous blog post; the idea would be to use the giant wheels that came with the Thornatus set and build a tower with them at BrickFair. Maybe it's not the most original idea ever, but it would be a cool yet simple group project, if everybody who has a wheel can just bring it in.

 

And now I have an LDD image to show how we'd make this:

The only extra pieces we'd need are the three 2 length connector pieces and 6 +o rods. Additionally, I could create a more elaborate top of the tower out of system bricks, but the big wheels are still the main draw. So I'm pushing to see if we can get more people to bring some in! :D

I may be able to send stuff in this year. Certainly not going to be able to go, but I may be able to send some stuff in. If so, I'll send in my Thornatus wheel. :)

I have the two Wheels from the old Hailfire Droid Lego Set.

 

i also have the Wheel from the Thornatus, but it doesn't belong to me and i doubt my brother would approve of my sending it.

 

Would the Hailfire Droid work as the base? :P

I have several of that wheel piece in Bright Yellowish Green (lime) from the Exo-Force Mobile Devastator. I might participate in this project if it has enough supporters to make it worthwhile, but I think it would be better to make a group project that's less simple. BIONICLE fans are kind of looked down on by a lot of the AFOL community, and it would be nice to have something more complex and imposing to really knock their socks off.

 

The BZTower was sort of up that alley, but they just used that to make a joke about "how much you can do with real LEGO bricks" or something like that.
