I know Jake recently got an excellent book on LEGO trains published. I’d love
to see something similar, but all about building minifig-scale LEGO towns.
I imagine that major sections of the book might include:
- vehicles
- buildings
- landscaping & decoration
- incorporating trains
and within each section, there might be multiple chapters – e.g., under
vehicles, there might be a chapter on cars, another on trucks, a third on
emergency vehicles, etc. Under buildings, there would be a chapters on basic
architecture, houses, city buildings (stores, post office, etc.), skyscrapers,
and furnishings.
It’d all be indexed so that if, for example, I want to learn how to make a hot
tub or a coffee maker, I can look it up in the index and go right to the
appropriate page. Each model would be presented as a picture, some text
description, and where needed, instructions showing how to make it. (Maybe the
instructions would take up too much room, so they could be provided as
downloadable supplemental material.)
Would anybody else love this book as much as me? Or, would its net effect be to
dump buckets of cold water on the Town community, as it gave away all the
secrets that builders previously had to discover the hard way?
Best,
– Joe

| (...) You know, it was surprisingly easy to do my book. TONS of work, certainly. But very fun work, and it's been great to have accomplished it. Interestingly, it wasn't "hard" work, in sense that only a select few people in the world could do it. (...) (19 years ago, 5-Aug-05, to lugnet.publish, FTX)
