LEGO, LEGO, LEGO!
Who would have ever thought that years ago that small plastic blocks that snapped together would eventually evolve into one of the most popular and endearing toys ever built. Not only did the plastic pieces (LEGO) prove popular with kids but with adults as well. So much so that LEGOs have evolved far beyond their original purpose and are now used to construct all sorts of things-toys and more. There's even LEGO theme parks!
No Starch Press has just release a trio of LEGO books that take building with LEGOs one step further.
In The Unofficial LEGO Builder's Guide 2nd Edition, author Allan Bedford takes LEGO building to its height. Learn how to make models that won't fall apart, how to choose the correct pieces and substitute pieces, build in all scales, create mosaics and sculptures and even build miniatures of all sorts of vehicles and buildings.
It's the ultimate LEGO building guide made easy with comprehensive instructions with step-by-step procedures using illustrations and photos.
Pawet "Sariel" Kmiec expands even more on using LEGOs with The Unofficial LEGO Technic Builder's Guide that explains how to build high-tech LEGO contraptions, equipment and vehicles that pivot, pull, roll, stretch, steer and operate just like real machinery.
If you can imagine it, you can build it with LEGOs and this book gives you easy to follow instructions, with illustrations, on how to do it.
Learn how to construct over 200 models in Megan Rothrock's The LEGO Adventure Book that focuses on 'special' LEGO building kits.
Learn how to make cars, castles, aircraft, ships, dinosaurs and so much more in the most colorful of all the three books.
Pages burst with large full-color photos showing each object from several angles. If making LEGO kits is your idea of a fun time then this is the book that puts the 'leg' in LEGOs.
