Micro scale lego skyscrapers3/17/2024 ![]() ![]() So I I found, particularly at night in artificial light it was difficult to read. With this book, the scale of instructions match that of the parts list in official LEGO instructions. With official LEGO instructions you have two different scales on the page: smaller images of the pieces in the parts list inset and a larger, easier to read, instructional image on the page. I believe this is due to the small size and the color contrast. The instructions are creatively designed to guide the reader, but in places can be difficult to read. The authors fitted each set of instructions on a single page. One niggle is the size/coloring of the instructions for the mini-builds. The first three chapters focus on a range of exterior and internal elements of buildings, offering a detailed look at residential, commercial and public places.Ī fish wall plaque (left), and a home office noticeboard (right) are two examples of simple but effective builds. The book is divided into a short introduction followed by six chapters. (The Japanese Restaurant and Board Shop are on the left hand side and the Boutique Hotel and a smaller store are on the right.) Book Contents The book has several pages dedicated to the exterior and interior detailing of some of the other buildings on the cover which help you get started in trying to replicate them. Yet there is only one set of detailed instructions in the book– for the corner building with two condominiums shown in the middle of the cover image. The cover may lead you to believe that you are getting build instructions for all of the buildings shown. Whatever the reason, it will look great sitting out on your coffee table. There was nothing wrong with the 2014 cover, but the difference perhaps shows the advances in image technology generally, or possibly the influence of the blurring of the line between real and computer-generated LEGO imagery. Seeing both books side-by-side, the cover of the 2018 book has significant improvements. This is one of the best covers I have seen it is very crisp and gives a real sense of the depth of the scene.
