Recensione
“Tiny Lego Wonders is a simply beautiful book and a must-have piece for the bookshelf of any LEGO fans.”
—The Huffington Post
“Both the instructions themselves and the models are very high quality and if you have an interest in microscale modelling then this is a book that you will not want to pass up on.”
—No Braking
“Rather than store this book on your shelf and say, 'I wish I could make that,' Tiny LEGO Wonders is meant to be shared with fans and is made accessible to those with a passion for transportation. It represents the boundless creativity and ingenuity of LEGO fans and how the toymaker has become an inspiration to process one’s surroundings in different ways.”
—The News Wheel
“For any LEGO fans, car fans, or mini-model enthusiasts, Tiny LEGO Wonders is a great investment, and a welcome gift.”
—GeekDad
“Zamboni excels in his ability to create and curate models that are quite small, yet accurately capture the design language and shapes of much larger creations.”
—BrickJournal, Issue 43
“This is another excellent book from No Starch Press and one that I have no hesitation in recommending, particularly if you are a microscale modeller already or want to try your hand at it.”
—Brickset
“Consonant with the exuberant joy that is a LEGO trademark, this book delivers a fun, whimsical set of colorful blueprints for tiny machines you can use to populate scenes limited only by your imagination.”
—San Francisco Book Review
“For newcomers, you'll find easy to build models with great design and manageable part count. To experienced builders and those that already build on a small scale, you'll find excellent reference and inspiration. I give it five out of five Nerdlys.”
—BrickNerd
“Full of incredible step by step instructions for over 40 mini builds, there's a lot to keep you and your little ones occupied...can't recommend this one enough!”
—Joel Reed, @thebrickside
“This is a great title not only for the aspiring Lego modeler, but as a tool to sharpen the young mind with shape, orientation, and assembly skills that will develop their future engineering skills. Those of us who are old enough to remember Erector Sets and Lincoln Logs will relate to how we developed our own young skills. Recommended!”
—Cybermodeler
“This book is easy to recommend as it provides the opportunity to choose from a wide range of mini builds to tackle, with many common parts used and then just a few Bricklink orders to do. More than that though, the instructions are a great source of mini build techniques – for those who want to find new ways to make their builds smaller, this is a good place to start.”
—Brick Fanatics
“All in all, I’m very happy with Tiny LEGO Wonders. The vehicles look great and building them is interesting and engaging.”
—The Brick Blogger
“Although Mattia is listed as the main author of the book, a team of 10 contributors from around the world have also lent their building expertise to the book, which provides it with a nice varied array of models to tackle. Tiny LEGO Wonders is another wonderful LEGO title from No Starch Press, who continue to publish unique and inspirational titles which focus on often overlooked aspects of the LEGO world.”
—BricksFans
“One point of the book - which has almost no words, just step-by-step illustrations - is that special kits aren’t needed. Each of the featured aircraft, ships, trains, trucks and cars can be constructed with fewer than 100 of the basic blocks that come with most LEGO sets.”
—Silvio Calabi, International Motor Press Association member
“Tiny Lego Wonders is as beautifully produced as all No Starch Press publications, but for it to remain pristine on a bookshelf or coffee table would be a great shame. Tiny Lego Wonders needs to look dog-eared, shabby and worn out, because the value of this book is in its use; Tiny Lego Wonders could be the launchpad you need to start your MOCing journey.”
—The LEGO Car Blog
“A perfect reminder of the surprising level of detail that can be captured at this scale.”
—Gimme LEGO
“This is hands down the coolest book I’ve ever seen...I love that this book is not only going to make a great coffee table book to show guests, but that it’ll get lots of use by us as well.”
—Outnumbered 3 to 1
“Each build included shows the level of difficulty so you know what to expect when you get started. From train sets, helicopters and cruise ships, you’ll definitely find something inside that you’ll want to build for yourself.”
—Happy Healthy Hip Parenting
“The book itself is beautifully put together. Hardcover books are always beautiful to hold, and the colours in the images are great. Kids and adults alike will get a lot out of this publication. Mattia Zamboni has packed the 200 pages with some really great models.”
—Bricktastic
“Profusely and beautifully illustrated with clear do-it-yourself step-by-step instructions for each individual project from start to finish, Tiny LEGO Wonders offers hours and hours of entertaining LEGO based entertainment.”
—Midwest Book Review
