#613 TECHNIQUES: Greebling

Today we're shedding light on a term you may have seen thrown around when discussing or commenting on LEGO models; greebling. This involves using small parts often referred to as “greebles” or groupings of mechanical-looking elements that provide detail but serve no practical function apart from increasing the aesthetic value of a surface. They can therefore be used to make a space more interesting and fill in any blank or empty spaces in your MOC or represent details in microscale applications.

We've chosen a selection of pieces that lend themselves well to greebling; they look like they serve a function and could add detail to blank surfaces.
