The
Unofficial LEGO Builder’s Guide
LEGO is
a brand that is well-known and well-loved by kids and adults
around the world, and LEGO modeling is more popular and sophisticated
today than ever. The LEGO® Builder's Guide brings together
techniques, principles, and reference information for building
with LEGO bricks that go far beyond LEGO's official product
instructions. In The LEGO® Builder's Guide, readers will
discover how to build everything from sturdy walls to a basic
sphere, as well as projects including a mini space shuttle
and a train station. The book also delves into advanced concepts
such as scale and design. Illustrations demonstrate construction
tips that can be applied to a wide variety of original creations
made from real bricks. The book's light tone is inviting to
young hobbyists and the young at heart. Includes essential
terminology and an overview of different types of LEGO pieces.

Software Power Tools, With LDraw, MLCad, and LPub
by Kevin Clague, Miguel Agullo, Lars C. Hassing
LEGO Master
Builders have created a powerful set of tools that are distributed
as freeware to the LEGO community to assist LEGO fans in their
building adventures. Until now, these tools have been difficult
to find, and even more difficult to configure to work with
one another. Here, in one book, readers will find steps for
installing and using all of the most popular LEGO freeware
applications. Also, all of the applications are consolidated
into one simple-to-install program that allows readers to
be up and running in minutes. [
I just purchased this book and it is great! While all the
programs on the disk are available free on the web the tips
and instructions in the book make the purchase price worth
while.] |
