I don’t know how the whole lego factory thing works and how you would sell your creations (I’ve had a hard enough time to build on a somewhat regular basis let alone keep up on whats happening on the internet in regards to LEGO).

Well, here it is in a nutshell: you download the free LEGO Designer software (which will soon be available for both Mac and Windows), which is a CAD program you can use to design models virtually, using a restricted but hopefully adequate palette of parts. Then you upload this design to the LEGO web site, and it’s available for purchase, either by you or by others. As I understand it, it will come in a box and I’ve even heard hints that you will be able to customize the box design. Building instructions will be automatically generated (I think), and will be available only online at first, but again there were hints that they’re looking into the possibility of printed instructions too.

   Are you thinking micro-scale, like the new factory sets that came out, or mini-fig scale?

Mini-fig scale -- exactly the Quantum Manor and the spaceship you posted recently. They’re beautiful works of art and look to me to have plenty of play value. Of course the part restrictions will get in your way here or there, but perhaps you could offer (on a web site or something) tips on making the models even cooler with parts available on BrickLink.

Best,
