The Unofficial LEGO Builder's Guide
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? The Unofficial LEGO Builder's Guide
is here to answer your questions.
Focusing on building actual models with real bricks, The
Unofficial LEGO Builder's Guide comes with complete
instructions
to build several cool models but also
encourages you to use your imagination to create your own
fantastic creations.
Inside, you'll learn:
The best ways to connect bricks and creative uses for those
patterns
Tricks for calculating and using scale (it's not as hard as
you think)
The step-by-step plans to create a train station on the
scale of LEGO people (a.k.a. "minifigs")
How to build spheres, jumbo-sized LEGO bricks, micro-scaled
models, and a mini space shuttle
Tips for sorting and storing all of your LEGO pieces
The Unofficial LEGO Builder's Guide also includes the
Brickopedia, a visual guide to nearly 300 of the most useful
and reusable elements of the LEGO system, with historical
notes, common uses, part numbers, and the year each piece
first appeared in a LEGO set.
The firm foundation for your LEGO hobby starts here!
