Member Spotlight – Backing the Red & Blue! 🏉✨
Footy fever has hit the workshop today! 🔴🔵

What do you do when NRL Grand Final week arrives, and you need to build a stadium fast? You improvise!

When Rainbow Bricks LUG member, Matt N. started putting this epic Newcastle Knights tribute together, he cleverly repurposed the hill embankment and sections of the grandstands from his old drag racing layout to bring the stadium to life. Add in some detailed brick-built mosaic logos, and the home ground was ready for action! Win or lose tonight, that’s the beauty of the brick—layouts can always be rebuilt into something new.

Drop a 🔴🔵 in the comments to send good vibes to the Knights tonight!

☕ Happy International Coffee Day! 🧱✨

If one thing fuels our builders through late-night sorting sessions and massive exhibition setups, it’s a good brew and even better company.

Behind every grand cityscape, moving train layout, and detailed MOC is a dedicated builder running on passion, creativity, and plenty of caffeine.

Grab your favourite cuppa today, take five minutes to relax, and let us know in the comments: How do you take your coffee while you build? 👇☕

😢Unfortunately, we are going to cancel this week's Talk N Sort! 😢

We planned to be online and scheduled a post for earlier today. But reality has slapped us in the face! 😂😗

Norma is sick, so she will be resting. We may see her next week if she is feeling better. 😍🌈

😴 I'm tired, and Tamara will be tired as she is travelling home today. So we will return next Tuesday at 8 PM AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time). Daylight Saving Time is back!

We will have plenty of photos and stories from Newcastle Brickfest A LEGO Fan Event, so we will see you next week at 8 PM AEST, on Rainbow Bricks LUG's Instagram feed. Get your BINGO Cards out for next week to see which item(s) we crossed off ours! 😂🌈
