| The LEGO Build-It Book, Vol. 1: Amazing Vehicles from No Starch Press | ||||||
According to Kuipers, the goal of his new book is to spark the creative imagination in every reader by showing how to use a collection of standard parts to construct a variety of models. As Kuipers explains, "having only a little to work with teaches you how to be truly creative." With a handful of easy-to-find pieces, builders of all ages will be ready to make 10 vehicles ranging from a simple go-kart to an impressive rescue truck. Readers learn to build each of the models in The LEGO Build-It Book, Vol. 1 through step-by-step instructions with full-color renderings created by co-author Mattia Zamboni. The book also features creative building techniques that help readers get a better understanding of the LEGO system and become better builders. "You don't need to buy the really expensive products or lots and lots of sets to make interesting models," Kuipers says. "With a little creativity and some useful techniques, you can build endless models from a simple collection of bricks." And the story doesn't end here. Volume 2 of The LEGO Build-It Book is due for a September 2013 release, and it uses the same collection of pieces as the first volume. The possibilities that lie in a single set of bricks may just be limitless, after all. For more information, see The LEGO Build-It Book, Vol. 1: Amazing Vehicles |
