LEGO Builder's Guide Book

If you want to start building to scale, but are unsure where to start you could do worse than to pick up a copy of the 'Unofficial LEGO Builder's Guide' by Allan Bedford (No Starch Press)



It has an entire chapter related to the building of larger scale bricks including the topics; 'How It's Done', 'What Scales Work and Why' and 'Approximation'. It has step-by-step examples of how to build a few simple bricks and covers 4:1 to 12:1 scales.

You can buy it online at Amazon;

http://www.amazon.co.uk/LEGO-Builders-Guide-Bedford/dp/1593270542/ref=sr_1_2/026-2197561-8109213?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1183319058&sr=8-2

or I noticed it is now available to purchase in the Legoland Parks themselves.

The rest of the book is excellent too and I learnt a lot of good techniques. I also has a wonderful 'Brickopedia' about what parts are avilable and when they were introduced.

  1. Man, awesome, awesome, awesome. You are amazing! I can't until the morning to show my son your blog!

    Anyway, wondering where you got those big ol' Lego brick shelves your little men are standing on?

    Any help would be great! Thanks!

  2. Hey thanks, glad you love the blog!

    Unfortunately that isn't my collection :-( But those 'shelves' are actually plastic shop display bricks that have been screwed to the walls to stand the figures on. They sometimes appear on ebay for sale.

    thanks,
    Darren
