Background

  • Background design on LEGO box resembles a video game.

Unboxing

  • Contents: 2 numbered bags, instructions, medium sticker sheet.

Building Process

Phase 1

  • Starts with one of the axles.
  • Use of Technic bricks and pins.
  • Transparent elements added (purpose unclear).
  • Busy construction with first stickered element.
  • Inclusion of short studless beam.
  • Use of cross axle for connection.
  • Hinged bucket handle and printed elements for Y-shaped headlights.
  • Concerns about mounting method's stability.
  • End of bag 1: preliminary build visuals.

Phase 2

  • Begins with printed rear wheel arches and 4 stickers.
  • Minifigure hand armor, cleaver, flag form rear diffuser and exhausts.
  • Combination of printed and stickered pieces.
  • Designers balance decorated elements with budget.
  • Gold hinges folded out.
  • Rear light stickers added to the modified plates (more difficult than printed elements).
  • Formation of iconic Y shape with lights.
  • Rear wing adjustments required.
  • Front fenders and stability improvements.

Completion and Features

  • Support for windshield, wheel covers, wheels.
  • Finished car and driver (resembling Supercar Blondie).
  • Driver fit and cockpit closure details.
  • Car's final presentation and impressive real-life appearance.
  • Accurate details like Y-shaped headlights, suspension elements, gold pieces, V12 engine cover, complex rear wing, diffusers, hexagonal exhaust pipes.
  • Some discrepancies but appreciated effort for accuracy.
  • Comparison with G63 build (personal preference).
  • Sturdiness and handling focus.
  • Transparent elements as placeholders for empty spaces.
  • Main color: olive green with golden accents (rose gold unatainable in LEGO).

Color Discussion

  • Olive green vs lime in the Technic Sián build
  • Concept car only in olive green; original Sián had varied designs.
  • Preference for lime version over olive green.

Overall Impression and Recommendations

  • Concept cars and hypercars: not a personal favorite, but this model appreciated.
  • Interesting and entertaining build despite many stickers.
  • Sturdy, good final appearance; recommended.
