Product Description

What exactly is a slope? What's the difference between a tile and a plate? Why is it bad to simply stack bricks in columns to make a wall?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book for master builders in the making, 1 Nov 2005
By D. Ward (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've visited Lego Land several times and am constantly impressed by the creativity of the models on display, and have always come away wondering how I could go about designing a model from scratch like the professional builders do.

The LEGO Builders Guide gives you a step by step guide from starting at the very beginning with choosing your subject, planning using handy templates, building techniques, and presentation.

This book will help you
- Build super size models
- Build micro scale models
- Build Lego Mosaics
- Build Building and people at Mini-Land scale
- Build Geometric shapes (e.g. Lego sphere)
- Organise you Lego bricks

I purchased this book with one specific project in mind, but reading it has given me a hundred more ideas

Great Lego Book and a very good price!

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT suitable for kids!, 24 Oct 2007
By M. Bell "MaggieB" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My son is mad keen on LEGO and so I naturally thought that this book was going to be perfect for him. Wrong! This book is only suitable for "grown up kids" i.e. adults. The few pictures that you find in the book are in black and white and the type face is very plain.

Best keep your money for the "Official" LEGO products.
