Review of
Geeky
Lego Crafts: 21 Fun and Quirky Projects, by David Scarfe, No
Starch Press, San Francisco, California, 2016. 128 pp. $19.95 (hardbound). ISBN

Five out of
five stars
The
three-dimensional figures that you see in this book range from the nostalgic to
those that fit into the holiday mood. My favorite was the set of three alien
creatures from the classic “Space Invaders” video game. All 21 are made from
Legos and the patterns are very detailed and easy to follow.
The opening page
of the design explanation has a brief section of explanatory text, pictures of
the figure(s) and a list of the type and numbers of blocks needed to create
each one of them. This is followed by a set of step-by-step visual instructions
describing how the figures are created. Given the quality of the explanations
for construction, none of the figures is very difficult to build.
The projects in
this book would be great for a Boy or Girl Scout project, an activity for
school or just something constructive and recreational to do in your spare
time.
