Beyond the Ball

This isn't a model per se, but Mariann Asanuma's new book is out. The book is called "Building Secrets from the Masters volume 2: Beyond the Ball" and it builds off of her previous book (I briefly discussed Mariann and her first book, "Building Secrets from the Masters volume 1: How to Build a Round Ball with Square Bricks!" last year). The book features ideas and building instructions for three models: an egg, a hot air balloon, and a watermelon. With her background as a former Master Model Builder for LEGOLAND, Mariann Asanuma naturally has created three models that would each be perfectly suitable as a model of the day. There's a blog post announcing the book and you can purchase the book at her website.
