Building Experience With Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 42115 Model

Before proceeding to the Lego 42115 review regarding the building experience, you should know about the Lego pieces that are to be assembled because it will give you an idea about the ones you have used before and the new ones. To create the lime green parts of the car, you will find sixty unique pieces and five among those are totally new elements used in the Lego structures.

• The wheel arches that are similar to the ones from the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 42056 and Bugatti Chiron 42083 sets, although the Lamborghini set has leveled upper surfaces.  
• The car hood is made up of the two trapezoidal panels on right and left along with the rotor blade-like elements that create lower sills of the doors.
• The drum-lacquer golden hubs added in respective bags make the golden rims. You will get thirty printed elements and two additional ones across eleven unique prints, for example ID plate, gas cap, brake calipers and carbon fiber detailing.
• The 1x4 white tile below the hood is laser-carved with the unique code to find the website and download desktop wallpapers, ringtones, posters and ownership certificate.

As mentioned earlier, each box of the package is designed for respective parts of the car and the first stage of your building process is assembling the rear suspension and gearbox. This box also comes with some unnumbered bags containing pieces to be used for the entire set. Here is a guide through the assembly –

First Stage

If you have experience with building Bugatti Chiron 42083, building the dual-wishbone suspension will seem easy and adding the 4 rigid springs on top of it will add to the bounce. Once the gearbox is constructed, add it to the starting of monocoque frame in perfect sync with suspension and you will notice those paddle shifters on lower left side.

Second Stage

The front suspension and engine are assembled in this step and you will feel nostalgic while cylinder and piston combo for the V12 engine if you have built Technic sets with the same combination earlier. Slot the engine into main chassis while the differential and the front suspension remain on building dock next. Make sure you are careful enough to align those axles and pins to establish a perfect connection with the chassis.

The engine is made up of variegated macaroni and round bricks for exhaust system with printed carbon-fiber tiles. Instead of conventional gears and beams, this set incorporates twisting pipes. There is a framing element that is added underneath final body parts, although will not be seen when you light up lego Lamborghini Sián.

Third Stage

Now, 75% of the first instruction manual is completed and you will now find the pieces for seats i.e. two hip-flanking race buckets with printed Lamborghini headrest and other interior details. In this stage, you will also have to lay groundwork for the car along with the retractable spoiler and scissor doors. For door mechanism, long beams are passed in channels alongside the cockpit and spoiler mechanism is controlled by the lever in passenger footwell that runs inside door on passenger side. You can pull the roof by grasping the reinforced handles from windshield area.

Fourth Stage

The fourth box contains pieces for rear spoiler and body panels for rear half. The 1x1 red tent slopes are used for three hexagonal taillights while small panels join with Technic connectors for the pound angles of wing delta for the spoiler. Attach it to the pylon that will rise as you pull the lever of the cabin. To make the edges smooth, lime green colored panels with some flexible and long axles are used.

The bag contains the engine lid that connects with two long axle pins instead of hinging open. Remove this cover completely to see the engine. Three 2x2 tiles create each side of this cover and when lid is fit properly, you will see only the top edge with multicolored stripes. You will see the sharp edges taking shape now.

Fifth Stage

The fifth bag with subsections of parts will help you construct the splitter. The 3-bladed headlights will test your patience with the odd construction procedure that you might not have faced earlier. 3 light sabers in perfect angles with each other are used for this. Here you will also have to attach the long axles for the scissor doors to allow movement while opening, although closing the doors will be in the conventional way by pushing them downwards.                

In sixth bag, you will get tires including 1x1 Lamborghini crest printed round tile and rims. Align the tiles and use the residual pieces of the firth bag to create the little grey bag for the trunk. The modified display plate is created with the 4x6 tile bearing car logo. The small frame attached to it will help placing it at perfect angle by the car.
