LEGO© Speak and MOC's

There's a whole swag of acronyms that go with LEGO© these days. Here's some of them for the uninitiated;

AFOL - Adult Fan Of LEGO©
BURP - Big Ugly Rock Piece
MOC - My Own Creation
SNOT - Studs Not On Top

(and I'm sure I'll add some more)

Over the last few years I have seen many MOC's online and they are impressive using SNOT and smooth plates. Whilst I plan on building my own, I don't think I'll come close to nor for the moment will I try and build in the style they do.

I'm not knocking what others do and like but for me I'm still quite a fan of sets that are faithful to the original style from LEGO©. Sure, you ask yourself questions like 'Where do the minifig's live?' or 'How does a minifig get up there?' but I reckon that's a part of the charm and here's why.

Sure, the details you see in these MOC's are great but if we look at Star Wars for a moment (and this is the original trilogy here), there was one thing I loved about it - it didn't spoonfeed you everything you ever wanted to know or show you anything that wasn't needed. It left alot up to your imagination and to me that is king and for LEGO© it is the same.

Keep it simple I reckon because simple is fun.
