Lego Minimoog: This Amazing Lego Build Could Become a Real Product With Your Help
You won’t believe the detailing on this Lego Minimoog – it looks so real!
Lego Minimoog
The Lego hobbyist scene is pretty insane. And I don’t mean just people who like to collect and build Lego, but people who design their own kits in the hopes that they’ll become real products. In the past we’ve seen a Lego SL-1200 and Lego Daft Punk. Now there’s a Lego Minimoog!
Called Minimoog Analog Synthesizer, designed by builder eliot.obrien and posted to the Lego Ideas page, this custom design replicates the 1971 Moog Minimoog Model-D in incredible detail. Check this out: it’s got rotating knobs and pitch wheels, pushable keys and even a reclining control panel, just like the real thing.
But wait, there’s more! Head around the back of the control panel for the removable plate, which reveals the inside of the machine, with PCBs and components completely visible.
Best yet, it’s at 1:1 scale. All it needs is some Tolex and stage sweat to really come alive.
A Lego of Love
Lego Minimoog designer eliot.obrien is not just a Lego enthusiast but a music producer and electronic music fan as well.
“As an avid electronic music listener and (very amateur!) producer,” he wrote on the Lego Ideas page, “I wanted to make a product idea that follows with my passion, and provides a great display piece for fellow music fans, that would fit right alongside other music-themed sets Lego has produced in the past.”
Help it Become a Real Product
For the Minimoog Analog Synthesizer to become a real set, it needs at least 10,000 votes from the general public. Once it reaches that point, Lego will review it and hopefully it can become an official Lego product.
To vote for the design, head to the Lego Ideas page and lend your support. It currently has 384 supporters and 484 days left.
