Product Details

Praise

“Serves as a very good basic starting point for anyone getting into the hobby, and perhaps more importantly, it shows younger builders some tips on expanding their modelling skills.”
—Ryan McNaught, LEGO Certified Professional

“Like a good Lego project, each chapter expands layer by layer on the one before, resulting in a thorough, well-rounded and indispensable source of guidance and creativity.”
—Rebecca Gueorguiev, School Library Journal

“A great addition to your LEGO library.”
—Greg Barbrick, Blogcritics

“It should be a requirement for anyone who builds their own creations…The content is awesome, easy to read and enjoy. The photography is some of the best I have seen.”
—Richard Hayes, Brick Fanatics

“The definitive book on the basics of LEGO building.”
—Steven Combs, Bricks in my Pocket

“This is essential for any avid builder’s LEGO book library.”
—Dan Phelps, A LEGO A Day

“It’s now in full colour and all the images have been re-rendered and now look absolutely stunning, in fact I’d go so far as to say they are the best I’ve ever seen in a book.”
—Huw Millington, Brickset

“Everything is beautifully laid out, and most (if not all) of the imagery is pulled right from LEGO-based CAD programs to make them look absolutely amazing.”
—Dave Indish, Bricks of the Dead

“Many of these techniques are derived from real-world examples (like the Overlap technique as seen in real brick walls) and it is all well-written, so it doesn’t take much to understand the ideas being conveyed. If you have any interest in putting together your own LEGO models, this book is a good investment.”
—J.R. Nip, Game Vortex

“One word…..AWESOME! If you are a LEGO lover (or know someone who is) The Unofficial LEGO Builder’s Guide is a must have.”
—Jilleen Hays, Seaside Book Nook
