Edinburgh-based artist Warren Elsmore loved nothing better as a child than playing with Lego blocks.
At 24, he rediscovered his fascination with them and began creating everything from models for the corporate world to mind-blowing replicas of iconic buildings.
This time he’s taken the plunge into the cinema world, using the plastic bricks to recreate more than 60 famous movie images, spanning action and adventure, comedy, sci-fi, westerns and musicals.
From Marty McFly in Back to the Future and Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz to Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever, Warren has immortalised some of cinema’s most memorable characters.
The book includes interesting facts about each movie and step-by-step instructions for those who want to have a go at building something similar, albeit on a much smaller scale.
Highly entertaining – and who wouldn’t want to have their own version of Men in Black’s Neuralyser?
