We Have Liftoff
/The NASA space program is arguably one of the greatest engineering achievements of the past millennium. It put men on the moon, for goodness' sake! This build by Lia Chan showcases one of the famed space shuttles that regularly sent humans into orbit. I know, LEGO space shuttles have been built many times before, including in at least three official sets. But this build shows the shuttle with its launch facility and transportation vehicle, all recreated in great detail. This is one of those super realistic creations that makes you do a double take and say, "Wait, that's LEGO?!"
Monet painted his garden many times, exploring changes in color and time of day. Meredith Najewicz follows his lead, rebuilding the LEGO Art Water Lilies set with a darker palette and some creative part substitutions to cast the lilies in a different light.
