There are also lots of white spaces to keep the design nice and clean. ➡ THE LEGO HEAVY WEAPONS BOOK QALITY: You can tell this book means serious business just by its look it is a big hefty manual – kind of like a shop-manual for vehicles – that is meant to be used and can take some beating! The book is 353 pages and covers the instructions for four LEGO gun replicas: the Desert Eagle handgun, the AKS-74U assault rifle, the Jungle Carbine (a Lee Enfield sniper rifle) and the SPAS 12 shotgun.Įven though the book is big, the pages lie flat as you turn them – in fact, I have built my own Desert Eagle right on top of the book! The pages of the book have a matte finish, which is easy on the eyes and helps with seeing the instructions clearly with no glare. 🙂īelow I will review the LEGO guns book quality, the instructions for building the LEGO guns, and the LEGO guns themselves – so read on… Jack is now 17 years old and this is his first book. After a lot of hard work the book LEGO Heavy Weapons was born with instructions to build four LEGO guns.

His YouTube videos and MOCpages postings created a lot of enthusiasm amongst LEGO fans, so much so that he was approached by No Starch Press to ask if he would like to publish a book on the topic. Jack Streat has played an influential role in the LEGO guns builder community since posting his first LEGO gun online at age 13. By the time you finish LEGO Heavy Weapons you will have the skills not just to build the LEGO guns included in the book, but also have the understanding of how to design and build your own weapon-replicas from LEGO. So if you are up to a great challenge, why not give it a try? And one of the best ways to start out is by learning the basics of LEGO gun-building from a true master. Whether we like it or not, guns are an integral part of our world, and making a LEGO gun is not going to hurt anyone any more than a water-gun or other toy-gun (wear eye-protection though as they really do shoot bricks!) – on the other hand they will enhance your thinking, mechanical and LEGO building skills. Today I will introduce you to Jack Streat from the United Kingdom, his LEGO guns, and his new 350 page book full of instructions on how to make working LEGO guns: LEGO Heavy Weapons – Build Working Replicas of Four of the World’s Most Impressive Guns Some do make successful attempts at building LEGO guns, but there is one teen who is the undisputed master of LEGO guns and LEGO gun-building. A dream of many kids (and adults) is to build a working replica of a real gun from LEGO bricks.
