Sorting LEGO Faster

Sorting LEGO Faster

As I was sorting my ‘dump bin’, I began to wonder if there was a quicker way. Like most of you, having your LEGO sorted is nice, if not necessary, but every minute you spend sorting is not spent building.

Rainy Glasses

Rainy Glasses

Don’t you just hate when your glasses get rain drops on them?! I built this MOC for the February 2016 LOLUG Iron Builder challenge. The seed part is the trans-clear 1x1 round plate. My first inspiration was to use them on glasses, but needed a scene to be viewed through them.
