A great read and an equally great source of inspiration for advanced building techniques. As an AFOL (Adult Fan of LEGO) I could really appreciate the clever parts usage in the different models and it was enjoyable to see these true to life re-creations of iconic cars take shape. This book has definitely inspired me to look for new and unconventional ways to connect LEGO pieces and I am sure that I will be borrowing some of these building techniques for my own creations.
