Think of all the movies and TV you seen which had cars as an important element, think on how you'd wish to have that car - well now you can - abet a smaller and self built version, but still a fabulous Lego replica, complete in every detail. This is a fun book maybe more to the adult to make and display, but there is no reason for a child not to do the same.
The instructions are good, easy to follow, all you need is to get the pieces. The book is divided into sections from foundation, intermediate and advanced. the cars include the mini cooper S from the Italian Job, the Pontiac from Knight Rider, the Ford falcon V8 from Mad Max to name just a few. Beautifully described in detail and illustration this book is a treasure for a wide range of enthusiast.

I think this is a fantastic book for LEGO enthusiasts.

I found the book to be quite advanced, and from working on LEGO projects myself and with my nephew, I think these would be quite tricky for kids (and possibly adults). The steps aren’t quite as straight forward as you find in a regular LEGO manual.

I enjoyed the discussion in the preface on how changes have been implemented over the series of Motorbooks lego manuals, to best assist the reader. The write up on each famous car was helpful as both a refresher and a source of information for the cars I wasn't familiar with. My nephew didn't know any of the vehicles, so I don't think this is a book for kids unless they really happen to love cars!

My favourite cars were Herbie and Ferris Bueller’s Ferrari. But I thought there was a great range of cars and programs referenced.

Great book with complete plans to build a variety of LEGO cars and trucks. Divided into basic, intermediate, and advanced skills. Highly recommended.

I went through this book with my 11-year-old son who is a very dedicated and committed lego builder. I knew he would give me his honest opinion on the content based on his love of building, and his regular use of instructions; his honest opinion helps me to better give my opinion of the book. As a concept, this is an interesting book. As a building tool, it is not. The instructions really are not there, instead, it tells you which pieces you need to use by step without telling you how to connect those pieces. So, after some fiddling around with things one could get the vehicles built, but it will take more time than other instructional books already available.

Review to come October 6th.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

I just couldn't resist this one. My hubby and I love building with Lego, though we mostly use sets, not really building anything just from our imagination or by books. Still I had to try out this book and see what kind of cars would be featured and what kind of blocks you needed (answer, a lot).

I couldn't build these sets, we don't really have loose Lego lying around (and even if I had I wonder if I would have all the specific pieces the book requires) but still I can read this book and see what kind of cars we get and how you could build them, should you have blocks. One day I hope to make these cars, one day I hope I have some loose bricks lying around that are exactly those one needs.

The book is split up in various levels, we begin with easy and each car gets a bit harder.

I liked that with each car we got some information on the car itself, when it was used/which movie, how rare it was, specs, and more. Quite interesting to read even though reading this one on a computer screen in tiny font (because ADE) wasn't always easy. My eyes would like a cuddle. :P

The instruction on how to make each car are detailed and very clear. Though at times I was a bit confused but that may have to do with the quality of the pictures, it was a bit blurry... or it may be my eyes, they don't like looking at the screen so long.

OH delighted to see Initial D in the mix! \o/

At the end we get what each car has to use, which I just loved as that means you can just go online and get the required materials.

All in all, this is one book I would love to add to my collection! And I definitely will. I would also recommend it to everyone. Even if you may not build them, it is interesting to read and fun to see how things get build.

Really cool idea for a book and incredibly detailed. An absolute must for those of us who love playing with Lego, but have no idea whatsoever of how to turn things we imagine into actual objects.

I hope to see many more books in this series, exploring other items to build.

"How to Build Brick TV and Movie Cars," by Peter Blackert is a fun guide to building some of the coolest cars from your favorite movies and TV shows using the bricks from your big bucket of legos!

This guide has some of the coolest cars like the Ferrari from Ferris Bueller's Day Off or the Mini Cooper from The Italian Job. Other cool cars include the Lotus Espirit from The Spy Who Loved Me and even the Love Bug. The instructions are easy to follow and each project is broken out into Foundation (or easy), Intermediate, and Advanced. The guide shows you where you can find each piece in the book's appendices.

This is a great book for all Lego enthusiasts looking for new challenging designs.

I received this eBook free of charge from Quarto Publishing Group – Motorbooks via NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. I did not receive any fiscal compensation from either company for this review and the opinions expressed herein are entirely my own.

Definitely not for children; the builds are complicated and kids probably haven't even seen the movies/TV shows referenced.
On the other hand, for a LEGO modelmaking enthusiast, this would be a great book. The instructions are carefully crafted. The designs on offer are fun!

This book is incredibly cool.
The cars in this book each have a completely detailed guide on how to put together each and every brick to make these screen to brick cars. The preface explains how to acquire the pieces and the instructions include each bricks code.

This book is great for anyone who loves legos and loves cars. I’d love to see more books like this in the future.

Thank you to Net Galley for my free e copy in exchange for my honest review.

A wonderful book for LEGO enthusiasts wanting to replicate their favourite cars from TV and film. Includes detailed step by step instructions to build a dozen well known cars from your own LEGO stash, with a list of all the parts needed for each model.
