Book Nook: How to Build Brick Airplanes

I recently had a chance to review How to Build Brick Airplanes. This book has guides for a wide variety of air craft - classic and contemporary planes, including jets and bombers. Most people with a wide variety of sets will have plenty of the right pieces. 

I loved the attention to detail - the planes in the kits are all scale models of the real thing. It's organized in a user-friendly way, with simpler designs first and then the more detailed and intricate ones at the end.

The designs are easy to follow and make great parent-child activities - perfect for any plane enthusiast.

LEGO is the world's #1 toy company. The adults who grew up building LEGO City and Spaceports are now passing their old sets on to their children—and a new generation of LEGO builders has emerged, along with a rabid online community and celebrated custom builders.

Peter Blackert is one of the world's foremost custom builders of brick scenes and vehicles. An employee of Ford Motor Company who designs cars for a living, Peter's work can be found on Flickr under the username Lego911. He lives in Australia with his wife.
