Crowned the “New Lego Bible” by VICE, the book has been praised by No Starch Press founder Bill Pollock. “Miniscale building has fascinated me since I watched a friend build an airport from a cupful of LEGO bricks,” he confessed. “Tiny LEGO Wonders finally makes miniscale building make sense.” Zamboni’s book has also been featured in The Creator’s Project, a daily arts and technology newsletter spearheaded by Intel. Zamboni, a robotics researcher at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland with a zeal for 3D computer graphics, stressed to The Creator’s Project that, “A LEGO master must have creativity, ingenuity and a wide range of building skills. And thinking outside of the box is the cherry on top.”
