Title: Which Duplo bricks have practical uses in System building?

ThreadText: # Which Duplo bricks have practical uses in System building?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2012-02-22)
  
  Traditional 2x4 and 2x2 Duplo bricks can be used to bulk out models and provide a [structural support for landscapes](http://www.flickr.com/photos/billward/110304845/), but have there been any other uses for Duplo bricks of all shapes and sizes in System scale MOC's?
  
  I can find two examples, one of a [Duplo barrel being used for a water tower](http://www.flickr.com/photos/notenoughbricks/3790772324/) and another that uses a [Duplo crown to form the pinnacle of a structure](http://www.flickr.com/photos/bikicsmilan/6882426491/in/contacts/).

  * [this MOC](http://www.flickr.com/photos/17662487@N07/5262451291) uses a [Duplo Ladybug Base](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=31222#T=C).
  * this [modern classic](http://www.flickr.com/photos/bruceywan/6692272517/) uses a Duplo piece as a major element.
