From the Publisher

A Message from the Author:

When I work at public events building LEGO models, I’m often asked: ‘Why does LEGO produce all these special parts now? Back in my day it was all just bricks’. For this book, my team took their inspiration from the LEGO Classic series of sets. So, if you want to build one of the projects in this book but don’t have exactly the right piece–don’t worry! Remember, there is no right or wrong with LEGO. As long as you’ve enjoyed building the model, then that’s all that matters. — Warren Elsmore
