Following his examination of the new parts, Inthert returns today to report on the actual build of LEGO® Creator Expert 10271 Fiat 500. (And don't forget, you could win a copy of the set in our latest building competition!)

While the most striking thing about the LEGO® Creator Expert Fiat 500 is unquestionably its Cool Yellow/ Bright Light Yellow base colour, the set has much more to offer than just recolours! Today we’ll be delving deeper into the build process before taking a look at the completed model.

Bag 1

The first set of numbered bags predictably focuses on the construction of the chassis, but by the end we also see a good deal of the rear end completed too.

I was surprised to find four double inverted slopes, Brick 2X2X2/3, Inverted Bow in Cool Yellow (6296511 | 32803) are used to strengthen the undersides rather than being ised elsewhere on the visible body work – LEGO definitely has no qualms with putting newly recoloured elements to practical, if unceremonious, use.

A nifty little trick involving a Plate 2X3 W. Holder in Dark Stone Grey/ Dark Bluish Gray (4227517 | 30350) is used to securely attach the rear bumper to the rest of the vehicle. It’s a good example of how System bricks can be used to create very sturdy connections.

Towards the end of the first set of bags we find the most satisfying part of the entire build: the construction of the tapering sides. Well, I suppose it’s actually only one half of the most satisfying part since the front section is built up in a similar way later on. In any case the technique is worth talking about. At one end, and providing the main mounting point, is a single hinge Plate 1X2 in Cool Yellow (6296491 | 19954). This allows the wheel arch panel to taper inwards. However, it’s the fact that the panel is then studded in place at the other end that makes this interesting. A variety of elements with 1x1 rounded surfaces allow the panel to connect without its edge clashing with surrounding surfaces.

From a bird’s eye view, the result is a right-angled triangle that technically pushes the envelope on legal construction but by only a fraction of a millimetre. Similar methods of achieving angled surfaces have been used in official sets previously but it is always a welcome surprise when such techniques crop up.

Bag 2

The bulk of the next set of bags go towards building the doors and interior.

The installation of the driver and passenger seats involves a novel use of what I refer to as ice cream cone arms: Arm, No. 1 in Medium Nougat (6259768 | 28660). The resultant bar & clip connection allows both front seats to tip forwards, providing access to the rear seating.

Half-stud offsets are by no means uncommon in sets but the combination of brackets, click hinges and reverse tiles that contribute to making the offset section on each door is too wonderfully elaborate not to highlight.

Bag 3

The last set of bags finishes up the main build as well as two small accessories that we’ll take a look at later.

Putting 3.18mm bars into Technic cross-holes is a connection not seen too frequently in sets. I’ve found through MOC building that the technique can result in far more clutch power than desired so I was pleasantly surprised to find the joint on the Fiat’s sunroof works nice and smoothly.

Another example of nifty angle work can be found with the windscreen.

It’s connected top and bottom yet manages to avoid an undesirable, off-grid vertical height. I wonder if the designer did the maths or ‘simply’ stumbled upon an angle that put no visible strain on the parts?

One final thing that made me go ‘aha!’ is the hub cap connection that elegantly uses a pair of studs inserted into the wheel hub itself. I’m a little out of the loop when it comes to vehicle sets so I apologise if this is not considered a noteworthy technique.

The completed LEGO® Creator Expert Fiat 500

The completed model is frankly delightful. Near enough everything that you would expect to open, does: bonnet, doors, sunroof and boot, and all have a surprising amount of detail to see inside too.

Most impressive to me was the engine which achieves a high level of accuracy with a relatively small selection of parts.

A small detail I appreciated was the use of cheese slopes to represent pedals in the driver’s side foot well.

My only complaint about the model is more of a warning for those planning on displaying the set on a shelf: It rolls. Now for a model car, you expect wheels to turn but conversely you also want them to not turn if you place it up high. Luckily there’s a simple fix for this, attaching a stack of parts equalling two bricks high to the underside will lift tyres off the ground just barely to stop any unwanted movement.

A charming addition to the set is the brick-built suitcase and painting easel (complete with palette and brush), both of which can be stored in or on the competed model thanks to the opening sunroof and the boot-mounted luggage rack.

Here, my policy of not applying stickers is an issue, as the blank 6x6 tile should be adorned with a very nicely designed ‘painting’ of the Fiat in front of the Colosseum. Likewise, the suitcase is intended to have a selection of stamps applied - presumably indicating the many countries the artistic owner of the Fiat has travelled to. I therefore imagine my particular Fiat has yet to make any such road trips - it is factory-fresh after all!

Conclusion

Overall, I think there really is something for everyone with this set: MOC builders like myself will no doubt find that the vast array of Cool Yellow elements opens new doors for custom creations. Those who enjoy a therapeutic build session can expect plenty of novel techniques and satisfying subassemblies. And finally, those interested in the completed vehicle itself will find plenty of intricate details on the car - both internal and external. Truly a set that has potential to please all LEGO enthusiasts. Well, so long as they like Cool Yellow!

LEGO Creator Fiat 500 – самая громкая новинка марта.

В марте 2020 года компания LEGO выпустила ряд новых конструкторов и даже запустила новую серию ( DOTS) , однако самой громкой премьерой месяца стал набор LEGO Creator Fiat 500 (артикул 10271). Броский и яркий, он молниеносно притягивает к себе внимание любителей и заядлых коллекционеров.

Технические характеристики набора:

Общее количество деталей: 960 шт.

Рекомендуемая розничная цена: $89.99.

Габариты модели в собранном виде (высота/длина/ширина): 11/24/11 см.

Этот изящный итальянский автомобиль является классикой мирового автопрома. Его начали выпускать ещё в довоенные годы, а сняли с производства только в 1975 году. При этом сами итальянцы называют Fiat 500 ласковым словом «Topolino», что означает «Мики Маус».

Конечно же невозможно игнорировать внешнее сходство Fiat 500 с другим классическим малолитражным автомобилем - Volkswagen Beelte, ведь его даже сконструировали по тому же самому принципу: мотор расположен сзади.

Fiat 500 часто снимали в кино. Этот автомобиль можно увидеть даже в «Римских каникулах», там его показали во всей его красе.

Набор LEGO Creator Fiat 500 поступил в продажу 1 марта, и теперь любой желающий может приобрести этот конструктор и собрать замечательную, яркую и технически интересную модель легендарного автомобиля!

The 2020 Creator Expert car – LEGO 10271 Fiat 500 took a lot of fans by surprise. After flashy vehicles like the Mustang, DB-5, it was pleasantly surprised to see LEGO take on a diminutive Italian car.

The Creator Expert car series has been on of my favourite long-running LEGO subthemes ever since I fell in love with the Volkswagen T1 Campervan which I believe is one of the longest-running sets of all time.

When I got the offer to take this charming yellow car for a spin, I couldn’t resist, so let’s take a closer look at the LEGO Fiat 500.

Special thanks to LEGO for sending this set over for a review.

In spite of its tiny size, the Fiat 500 plays a pretty large role in the annals of automotive history – pioneering the trend of small, inexpensive European cars.

Thanks to its small footprint, it was the the perfect car for post-war Italy, to traverse the narrow cobblestone-covered laneways of the ancient country.

It’s never a good feeling to pop open a LEGO set and be greeted by the sticker sheet. Thankfully, the Fist 500 doesn’t rely too heavily on stickers for its key features.

The most prominent use of stickers is for this painting of the Fiat 500 in front of the Colosseum in Rome.

I really like the easel and paint palette included. They’re not the most elaborate builds, but like the surfboard in the Volkswagen Beetle set, it gives the Fiat 500 a sense of time and place, evoking carefree afternoons painting and taking in the sights of Rome.

Similarly, the luggage plastered with stickers of European countries speak to a well-travelled Fiat that has traversed through continental Europe.

Paired with the easel, I get the vibe that the owner of this small car enjoys taking things slow, going on weekend jaunts to see as much of Europe while taking in its beautiful sights.

Like most Creator Expert cars, you also get your pick of license plates that you can use to switch in and out. Like most LEGO license plates, there’s usually some significance to the letters and alphabets – the one that stood out to me is PN, the initials of the designer Pierre Normandin, as well as the set’s number.

The three license plate variants give you options between an Italian, Danish and German plates. The Italian plate with TOFO stands for Torino, Florence and 1965 is the year of production for this particular model.

The build was brisk, but very enjoyable and the end result is nothing short of charming.

I think LEGO have done a marvellous job with the design. The proportions and curves are excellent, and you can instantly recognise the Fiat 500’s silhouette.

Here’s how the Fiat 500 looks from the front, and I love the use of Unikitty horns to mimic the silver bars that extend from the logo.

The transparent indicators on the front feel like they should’ve been transparent orange instead of clear, but other than that, it does look pretty good.

Here’s the Fiat 500’s side profile, which gives you a better appreciation of the curves and straight lines involved. I do think the front of the car is slightly too long, and the bonnet is a bit too flat.

The Fiat 500 being a legendary Italian compact car has quite a noticeable rounded front, and it seems like the designers couldn’t quite get this to look exactly like the real thing, possibly due to limitations of bricks, or space for the wheel.

I also really like the use of the silver dish for the rims, which give it an unmistakably retro look.

The back is my favourite part of the car. The designers employed a clever mix of slopes and curved slopes to achieve its unique shape.

The gaps are very well hidden, and I really appreciate how hard is it to make it look so seamlessly curved.

Popping open the boot gives you a peek at the engine.

The doors swing open to reveal the interior, which as you can expect is very compact. The dashboard is relatively simple, with a speedometer, but I also like the large gear stick which is wedged between both seats.

I found it quite comical that the doors could swing open all the way thanks to the hinges used.

One of the defining features of the Fiat 500 is its fabric sun roof, which seamlessly well. From a visual perspective, it really ties the entire car together, and opens and closes very satisfyingly.

The end result is nothing short of charming, and for Creator Expert car aficionados, is a complete joy.

After very burly muscle cars like the Mustang, I really liked that LEGO went in the opposite direction to revisit this old Italian classic.

Here’s how the Fiat 500 compares to some of the other notable Creator Expert cars. It’s a brilliant addition to the fleet of historic cars, and makes me excited for more to come.

What I liked:

A relatively affordable and fun build that doesn’t compromise
Cool yellow is a fantastic colour choice
Retro white wall tyres
Compact size makes it very easy to display

What I didn’t like:

Windscreen could be improved, and less angular
Steering wheel is just cosmetic
I wish the painting was a printed tile

Final thoughts: I had funny feelings writing this review. Prior to lockdown and Coronavirus (does anyone even remember the before times?), I had actually built and photographed this car during one of our last weekends away.

Revisiting the photos and writing the review for this car, which very clearly has “travel” baked into its identity does feel a bit strange.

The LEGO Fiat 500 does a tremendous job evoking travel, holiday and Summer vibes, which is a bit of a distant memory, but I can’t help but feel good to be reminded of it all.

While most of us are stuck at home, the LEGO Fiat 500 was a pleasant way to live vicariously through a LEGO set, and a thoroughly enjoyable build.

The curves work remarkably well on the Fiat, especially on the sides and back, however what I love most is the Cool Yellow colour selected for it.

It gives it a distinct identity and ties the entire model together.

Like the original Fiat 500, the set’s accessible price-point is one of its biggest draws. In an era with ballooning LEGO prices, the Fiat 500’s budget price tag is sorely welcome, especially since you get so much bang for your buck.

The set oozes charm, and transports you to a time and place where travel was unrestricted – which in today’s day and age, just feels priceless.

If you’re a longtime collector of Creator Expert cars, or are new to the game, I highly recommend the LEGO Fiat 500. It ticks all the right boxes, from price, design, historic relevance and makes for a cracker of a display model.

Highly recommend picking this set up if you can as it’s one of the frontrunners for best sets of 2020.

Rating: 4/5
