I very much enjoy Legomasters: Australia and was happy to pick up this book by Brickmaster Ryan.
In it, he expertly walks through the thought process of putting together a LEGO build from scratch. I have built many sets and made some stop-time animation shorts with LEGO, but have never tackled the creative and daunting MOC (my own creation) with any scale. Ryan's well-considered process will likely change that now.
