"reviewing" the unreleased LEGO Architecture Trevi Fountain Se

[henrysunset]

I was excited by the upcoming Trevi Fountain set, and I couldn't wait for it's release to try and build part of the model. Along the way, I discovered some of the cool building techniques that I believe will be employed in the final model, plus a sneak peek at some of the rare or interesting parts that I'm pretty confident are lurking within the set.

I'm curious if anyone else has tried to build out a model before it's released? How close did you get?

I'm also curious to hear if you think I made any errors in my predictions. What do you think will be the most sought after piece in this set?

Sincerely,

A great likeness!

I'm not much of an Architecture builder, but I do commonly attempt to build unreleased sets on Lego Digital Designer to get a better feel for how they work. With those—often upcoming sets I'm interested in from themes like Ninjago, The Lego Movie, Legends of Chima, and other themes—doing so often gives me a better appreciation for how those sets are designed, and helps to inspire me to build my own creations. But in many of the themes I build in, I have the benefit of selecting from not just the official pics but also photos and video from events like Toy Fair (which rarely feature Architecture sets). Props to you for being able to discern so many details of this model!

I own this set, it's sitting on the table before me right now :)

If there's anything in particular that you'd like to know about it, let me know and I'll post a picture of the part you're curious about.

EDIT: Oh, and the most sought-after part? I'd say the 1x1 trans-clear tile would be pretty high on that list. There's 12 of them - plus a spare :)

I have one question.

Is it the one name plate.

Or do we get one in Italian.

Like with eiffle tower and Brandenburg gate.

It's just the one. I expected it to have two, but it just says "Trevi Fountain".
