Build Your Own Lego Knight's Realm: The Big Unofficial Lego Builder's Book

I just got it in the mail today. Full color, all constructions in the book appear to be LDD in origin, so excellent quality and parts list for each step. Book covers mini and minifig scale. The majority of the book covers Minifig scale though. All constructions are VERY nice, and every construction comes with instructions for building it.The content is as follows: LOTR - 2 models, Tournament scene - 3 models, GoT - 2 models, Robin Hood - 2 models, Medieval scene - 2 models, Castle - pgs 201-306!!!, Sleeping Beauty - 2 models, Throne Room details - 6 models, Harbor scene - 1 models. The Castle section alone is huge, 100+ pages on the construction of the castle that is on the cover of the book!Notable models...Tower of Orthanc, Dragon, Catapult, Castle, Throne room items. Also has a small 2 page color section only detailing different ideas for food! I highly recommend this book for the castle builder! The only drawback...the ink stinks!Happy building everyone!

great ideas for my lego kingdom. instructions are easy to follow and models are beautiful. the only problem is hunting down the legos to build these creations. As an adult collector who as been creating from legos for thirty years i found them fun and easy to build; however, i did not have legos as a child and have no practical "kid experience" My eight year old son helped me with several models but didn't think he could have built several of them himself. My three year old son looks at the book for hours on end,so we all do enjoy it and recommend this book highly

I bought this as a gift for a seven year old nephew who loves Legos, to encourage him to move beyond the pre-made kits and build things of his own invention. The inside of this book has a lot of step-by-step instructions for building things that look just like the directions that come with Lego kits. I heard some uncertainty expressed from him about 'but I don't have those pieces!' as he flipped through it so it's not a perfect gift in that sense for a kid who likes things very precise. We'll see if it does push him to build beyond the box; more likely, it won't get used much.

The first book I received was missing pages. Amazon corrected this.As so many Lego building books, there are very few easy ideas and very few instructions. It is mostly a book of impressive Lego creations. I bought since Lego doesn't have castle sets out right now and that is one thing my child is interested in. But, I will only get a few ideas from this. Would not buy again - would just look at ideas on the Internet instead.

This book provides nice instructions for some of the models displayed in the pictures but not all (some of the inner buildings). The instructions are reasonably easy to follow and are fairly nice for a group collaboration where each person builds a couple of the pieces. It does take a fair about of Lego to build so you may need to buy more or substitute some of the pieces.

My 10 yo.son LOVES this book. I am impressed with the numerous builds that are demonstrated. (He had been disappointed by past Lego books that just showed ideas without demonstration.) His main interest has been the castles. There are some pieces that he does not have for the rooflines, but he has creatively altered the plans using what he has.

I was hoping for more content about general ideas and construction techniques / ways to conceive of your own individual knights realm. However, what you end up with is really just glorified third party instructions for making specific LEGO sets. As a LEGO MOC building if I had seen this first hand in a store I would not have purchased.

A great set of instructions for building a large castle and other accessories. The instructions are complete, clear, and include parts lists. The pieces of the castle wall are modular so this castle could be built in multiple configurations. It is an awesome book for Lego castle lovers.

Come altre pubblicazioni della HEEL questo libro di 400 pagine è fondamentalmente un manuale di istruzioni per realizzare una ventina di costruzioni in ambientazione medievale: si va da una serie di arredi e manufatti ad un monumentale castello, passando da "leonardesche" opere, tra cui una catapulta (mastodontica, se confrontata con i kit Lego del 1990 e dintorni), una gru portuale, un dragone, ecc. Per la cronaca viene indicato anche come costruire (per la foresta di Robin Hood) un albero ..... con ben 343 pezzi. Il tutto con il dettagliato elenco e la descrizione dei pezzi necessari per ogni realizzazione (la "parts list", come avviene per i recenti kit della Lego). Nell'esaminare il volume all'entusiasmo per la qualità delle opere proposte si contrappone la frustazione di constatare che gli ideatori di queste costruzioni sono degli autentici "professionisti", irrangiungibili da noi dilettanti anche se "evoluti". In conclusione il libro, tra l'altro molto meritevole, fa rimpiangere gli Idea Book Lego di molti lustri fa, che proponevano costruzioni abbordabili e contenute nei costi di approvvigionamento dei pezzi mancanti.

Great builds and nicely displayed instructions.

Prodotto ben realizzato, materiali di qualità, in pratica sono istruzioni dettagliate ed illustrate su come costruire una serie di elementi tipici di un'ambientazione medievale.

An amazing book with great instructions

Libro ben fatto, belle immagini dalle quali prendere ispirazione. Consigli l'acquisto a tutti gli appassionati di LEGO. Servizio di spedizione divamazon perfetto come sempre.
