Description
In this course, we're plussing (+ing, amping up, enhancing) our Lego brick built vehicle models. Designing our creations to precise measurements, to be historically accurate and sized to minifig scale. After reviewing a brief introduction to the class we'll cover Professor Brick Maker's building philosophy, the 3 rules of build-botics and all sorts of key words so we're all speaking the same language. After we source and resize our blueprint image, we'll use it as a useful building template. The course will include a discussion about key building parts and how to source them. And after a brief summary, we will include several useful techniques. By the end of the course the viewer will have gained perspective, several useful techniques and have a better understanding of how to use a precise blueprint template to aid the brick building process.
