Chapter 9. Putting It All Together: Where Ideas Meet Bricks
We’ve covered a lot of topics up to this point. Throughout this book, you’ve looked at basic building techniques, like overlapping and stacking; different types of LEGO elements and how best to use them; and design ideas, like scale and color.
