Beasts from Bricks

Beasts from Bricks is a nice Lego tutorial collection from Ekow Nimako and Quarto publishing. The projects are complex, but the tutorials are really well illustrated and with some patience, can be followed by most of us.

The 15 animals included are arranged by continent and there's a complete brick list for each one.
Most of them are articulated and move in some way. My only caveat is that you need a LOT of single color bricks and a lot of the really obscure pieces as you can see from the cover (rhino).

They're really beautiful and I appreciated that each section included the Latin name along with some geographical and background/conservation info.

My favorite part was the gallery at the end. Truly breathtaking sculpures. I'm in awe!

The book also includes a resources section as well as a short bio of the artist creator.

Beautifully made, with meticulously illustrated step by step tutorials.

Four stars
