Review :
"Covers an impressive range of building techniques that will be useful both for newcomers to the hobby who want to go beyond following instructions, and also for the more seasoned builder who wants to take their construction skills to the next level." —Huw Millington, BrickSet.com "This book is aimed at people ready to start planning their own LEGO®️ builds. The author is well-known in the community for his large LEGO towers, in both physical and digital forms. He imparts the lessons he has learned in developing these models, from basic brick stacking through SNOT (Studs Not On Top) and offset techniques, through to more advanced methods to help you take your builds off-the-grid, regardless of the scale you wish to work at. I reckon even experienced builders will have something to learn from this book." —Richard Jones, RamblingBrick.com
