Patient. Thorough. Orange. A great builder is all these things. Only through careful examination can a minifigure decide that an imposing castle’s walls must be not gray …but neon pink.
Sadly, not all builders share the wisdom that sometimes if you love a model, you must set its colors free. Trees ought to be purple! Trains should be periwinkle! Pirate forts must release their polka dots within! A new splash of color would do wonders to compliment and funkify thousands of properties up and down the Universe. It’s time to get more builders recoloring!
If a Creative Spark is fire, building inspiration is its tinder. Show the world how a vibrantly recolored model spices up your property and you shall be rewarded with thanks and loot, young architect.
Build upwards and always, young geniuses of the Nexus Force!
