I love to build official Lego sets, because some of them are superbly
designed.  I also often get design ideas from them.

On the other hand, I'm also into making MOC's. Thus exotic colors and cool

that are at the same time well designed and with cool new parts.  This is why
I'm so enamored by much of the Star Wars line.
