Tora no Maki


Thanks to the talent and time of ISOGAWA Yoshihito, LEGO users everywhere can access a new 200+ page building resource! Tora no Maki is the first of hopefully many books developed by Yoshihito illustrating how to build various mechanisms with LEGO Technic bricks. Over 300 building challenges are presented using more than 1700 images.

Topics covered in the down-loadable publication include: gears, bracing, pulleys, walking mechanisms, springs, differentials, and much more! The author is only asking for a $10 donation if you find his work useful.
