Recently, TNVLC was offered the chance to review a new book on LEGO Christmas Ornaments. As I flipped through the book, I recognized some of the ornaments. I thought to myself "SOMEONE RIPPED OFF POWERPIG!!!". I was delighted when I discovered that the book was actually written by Chris McVeigh. I have followed Chris' (AKA powerpig) work online for years. His work is creative and I have learned a lot from his designs. I really enjoy his Brick Sketch creations.
I come from a family of LEGO fans and builders. We are always looking for new ideas for Christmas decorations and our first stop is always ChrisMcVeigh.com. He has a plethora of building guides including technology, gaming, holiday and more. A few years ago my oldest son built Chris' "My First Computer, Byte Edition" (Macintosh) for my birthday. I still have it proudly displayed at work.
Each of the step-by-step guides are well rendered and easy to follow. Even if you do not have all of the parts for a given design in your collection, you can often substitute the element without sacrificing the look of the design.
