5 out of 5 stars review

I don't know if there is a Bible for master LEGO builders, but this appears to be it. If you've seen the stellar LEGO models of Rivendell or Hogwarts online, the author was the creator of each (and so much more). Plus, the “1,001 ideas” slogan is entirely realistic. It's a very well-designed book with great layouts and simple text explanations for basic elements. It is a really worthwhile and truly remarkable book. Chapters include brickwork, wall cladding and shingles, curved walls, framing and paneling, patterned walls, molding and millwork, simple windows, custom windows, ornamental windows, window framing and decor… you get the idea. So much here. The chapters are broken up into various sub-sections and projects, and run the gamut from ancient, to fanciful, to everyday, to futuristic. For serious builders, or wannabe-serious-builders, this is all kind of amazing. Highly recommended.
