Assembled this cutie today and posed it in front of @BookishMarginalia ‘s #BookHaul. She said one book was for me. Can you guess which one? 🤔🤣
pickReceived to review, ages ago. My bad.
This ended up pretty fascinating, and I'm definitely getting my dad a copy. It covers the underlying principles that constrain Lego sets, design considerations, the physics of it, and much of the history of various sets and themes.
I remember these horses! I had no idea they were kinda "controversial" internally at Lego.
The bit you can see around the saddle area was a brick you could take out, so a mini-figure's legs could be put in instead, to look like they were riding the horse.
I think I might've found Dad's Christmas present, this goes into stuff like the physics of how Lego bricks connect. I don't always follow, but I'm finding it interesting too.
pickSuch beautiful setups and photos of lego star wars figurines, ships, etc.

Enjoy!
pickA good place to start. Considering the ratio of educational descriptions of architectural styles to depicting examples made in real life and models in Lego, to actual instructions on how to build some of those examples in Lego, with a short builder's guide with model builder profiles in the back, I see this more as a source of inspiration than a how-to manual, but I do enjoy how it was presented as a whole. 1/?
Call me a philistine for not previously recognizing the “creative potential of reinforced concrete“, but I'm pretty sure it's the Wabi Sabi that's getting me more more than the Brutalism. Aka, I think I love the depicted Palace of Assembly because it's contrasting the warm, creamy, clean, smooth base colour where the light hits directly with the parts that are weathered/dirty?!

I got in the habit of keeping $10-20 in the car for tolls when I lived in the lower 48, but since there aren't toll roads in AK, I've fallen out of the habit. I don't often carry cash in my wallet. 💵
There have been some cool stories of a stripped-down Batman, but for the most part, his tools and gadgets are a big part of his character. 🦇
