Nerdy About The Bricks
The AFOL community is growing and women are leading the way—creating spaces, breaking barriers, and making sure everyone has a seat at the table. For International Women’s Day, let’s meet a few builders who are shaping a more inclusive LEGO world.

Read MoreI don’t know what I find more surprising about this space station by builder CheesyStudios, the vibrant color pallet or the fact that it was built, photographed and edited in under 24 hours, impressive.
Builder Rogue Bantha continues his exploration of color, and things are getting interesting. Not that I have anything against some classic grey, blue and yellow, but seeing some splashes of unusual color, combined with his spectacular building style and skill, makes for some eye popping MOCs. The overall shape is unusual, the greebs are nice and the build is clean. This is pretty awesome.
Every once in a while you need to change things up. Try building in a genre you haven't, use those 1250 blue slopes that were such a deal, dust off the Bionicle, branch out. Builder Rogue Bantha is doing that by exploring color, and I have to say the results are impressive so far. This cruiser is so clean and appealing, with an unusual combination of colors.
