Release
Date: 7 April 2014
Using LEGO®
bricks, artist Warren Elsmore creates stunning scenes with easy-to-follow
instructions. Designed with only standard LEGO pieces, Warren's talent lies in
choosing exactly the right parts to enable the reader to recreate these icons
of history in their own home. While many of the original seven ancient wonders
have crumbled away, here we see them in their full glory. Brick Wonders also
takes a look at new wonders of the world; treasures from the past millennium
that remain standing today.
The seven
ancient wonders of the world, including the Lighthouse at Alexandria and the
Hanging Gardens of Babylon, are depicted as they might have been, to amazing
effect. And, from the modern world there are seven still-standing wonders,
including the Great Wall of China and Petra. Seven modern inventions, among
them electricity and transport, are represented in LEGO creations both small
and vast - a Model T car, television, the light bulb and the International
Space Station. There are seven natural wonders, too, presented in their
majestic beauty, including Victoria Falls, the Great Barrier Reef and the
Matterhorn.
Whether you
are an adult fan of LEGO (an 'AFOL'), or are just fascinated by the use of LEGO
as a modelling medium, this book will take you on a unique journey through
history and around the globe.
