Let's build: Lego City airport, featuring an 18-inch Lego plane

2016-08-19
BRIC fans meet one of the newest lego city sets it's the airport passenger terminal front and center this set is this enormous plane it's 47 centimeters long you also get an airport terminal and this runway vehicle let's build we have built this little airport car system thing it's got some really nice details here I particularly like these little suitcases well halfway through building the plane we're going to put the roof on soon so I thought we'd take a moment to appreciate some of the interior details this toilet is quite nice as a little swinging door here and you can see a little like a ho toilet bowl in the back there their seats obviously up here we've got a little drinks compartment slides down worryingly close to the old pilots chair if you ask me but there you go he's got a little coffee cup again hot liquids electronics spillages the plane is finished it actually took a little longer than I thought it would so much of this plane is huge of solid pieces of brick that I thought maybe it wouldn't take that long but there are so many tiny details all over the place around the engines around the wheels I think it's a bit of a shame that there's no hinge on this which would made it easier to get inside and mess around with the interior but one minor concession is that these bricks here this strip of orange that actually sort of attaches the roof to the rest of the plane there aren't many studs on that so it's reasonably easy to just pull sections off if you did want to get inside on a much more positive note I love this door it's so cool it's got this hinge on it so when you pull it open it sort of opens in that way that plane doors do which I really really really like and on the underside as well the landing gear these wheels are really nice and this front one spins halfway through building the terminal there are some fun moving parts here let's examine them so first off we've got the revolving doors pretty cool quite intimidating let's try putting someone through it shall we Oh got caught in the mechanism gets a tight fit she's not gonna be walking out the airport on that leg that's not good that's not healthy right nice and slow next up this baggage belt that's pretty fun this came basically as one piece only had to put on these little adornments I pop on one of the little Lego suitcases it's gone flying hang on pull this up there we go here we go wait for it so already came together at the end there the last few stages were mostly sort of decoration a lot of stickers and this air traffic control tower which is really nice final detail is the chair spins that's really nice in this radar dish as well on the top that also is adjustable so it's been a build of big pieces but also of tiny details it's not the cheapest set but you do get a lot of Lego and quite a lot of building for your money anyway that's all for now check back next time
