As for a tip, I’d say is to be genuine and passionate about your idea. No matter what the subject/idea is, it will really show through in the way you build/present your Product Idea and it’s a lot more compelling for people to support your project. My favourite part are the ship doors on the inside. It has a curved shape, a round window, and also has to be able to open/close. That was something that went through the most trial and error, especially because I had to scale down the interior so many times. One time when they were still too big and shrinking them seemed impossible. I absolutely love listening to music whenever I can, cooking (because I love food), and of course, LEGO! (But I’m aspiring to make it into more than just a hobby.)
The build originally had just about 3100 or 3200 pieces, but LEGO Ideas states your submitted builds must be below 3K parts total. So I had to refine it, which was hard to choose what wasn’t needed. The final model has 2999 parts. If you could talk to yourself before you started on this project, what would you tell them? What do you know now that you wish you knew then?

Frequently Asked Questions about Lego set 3825 SpongeBob SquarePants Krusty krab
I wish I knew just how difficult it is to build the Krusty Krab. There was a time during the development phase of the project where it got so difficult that I questioned if I was even able to complete the model, much less be of quality standards. Thankfully I didn’t throw in the towel, and I managed to complete the project with a sense of satisfaction. Next time I should really analyse what I plan on building to know what I’m really getting myself into. Do you have plansto submit any otherProduct Ideasin the future?If yes, can you give us a hint what that might be? As fun a challenge it was, it was for sure a challenge! The Krusty Krab isn’t your typical LEGO house. With a curved roof and arches, netted flags and the works it was all very difficult to recreate! Lots of time was spent on the roof mostly. But I took my time with the model and it came out just how I’d imagined it. That’s a tough question! I could say a number of licensed themes, including SpongeBob, but I remember every year I’ve always been excited for the new Creator line releases. They’ve always fascinated me, and what’s so inspiring is the multiple instructions to rebuild the set into something new! Very creative!
Do you have plansto submit any otherProduct Ideasin the future?If yes, can you give us a hint of what that might be?What special challenges did you face creating the model? What was the most difficult part to recreate? It took quite a while to build for sure! There was a LOT that went into this project, from all the reference images of the building, all the countless weeks spent refining the model to be its very best, and the renderings were a whole other can of worms to work out. I’m very, very happy with the final product, however!
Throughout the building process, I had to keep on shrinking everything down, and then some. The size eventually got so tight, that if I were to change one thing I would have to make massive sacrifices to another part. An example of a furniture that suffered the most from the scaling would be the boat where the cash register is.
Specifications
That wraps up our list on all of the LEGO SpongeBob sets. In total there are 14 fantastic sets that fans will continue to collect and play with for many years to come. LEGO presents the perfect opportunity to explore Bikini Bottom and that’s exactly what LEGO have achieved with this theme.
The final construction I used for the doors was possible when I tried out a building technique used in the front seats of the 10252 Volkswagen Beetle set, and it’s amazing just how perfectly it worked. There is also a gap just wide enough for the door to open too, sounds funny because doors should always be able to open but I remember making a version that couldn’t open/close because it compromised on the looks. Thankfully I managed to make it look good and still function in the end. So many to name! Throughout my LEGO Ideas journey, I’ve met so many great talented friends all with amazing builds of their own! One that comes to mind is ExeSandbox, who made a previous Krusty Krab model on LEGO Ideas! That definitely inspired the work on my own rendition of the building.

It took roughly 2 and ½ (almost 3 months if I’m counting the prep work plus rendering.) The amount of time I spent promoting was around 2-3 weeks, which is measly compared to the time I spent developing, mostly because I didn’t know how to promote my project further. Thankfully it was able to gain enough momentum to take it to 10K.
