LEGO Architecture United States Capitol Building - 21030

Great architecture set, goes well with the whitehouse, similar size. Love how you can remove the dome to see the rotunda with statues inside! Only issue was there were 2 missing round 1x1s for the very final stage. Thankfully I had 2 of those, otherwise would have been a bit annoying. Recommend to anyone into the architecture theme!

The US Capitol Building model was a surprisingly fun build. I expected there to be many repetitive steps in it like with the White House or the Louvre, but everything was just a little bit different and kept a fun amount of excitement as you saw how the designers executed the details. The really fun surprise was the detachable dome that reveals the rotunda below with the statues inside!Despite the large number of pieces, the set was a relative quick build. The base has a lot of details when it comes to the lawn, sidewalks, and flooring of the rotunda, but after that, the set is a relatively easy and exciting build. I own the entire Architecture series and this has quickly become a showstopper set among them all.

Got this for Christmas, had been looking at these architects sets for some time & was really pleased to get this one as a present.This is a large model with over 1000 pieces, inside the box are a number of plastic bags with the bricks, I transfered each bag to a zip lock bag to make sorting easier, I also used a plastic tray to sort out all the small pieces, of which there are a lot. The provided book gives great history of the building & great for the build with its detailed step by step guide.I decided to build this in stages to make the build last longer & to get the most from it. Due to the Large number of small parts this is best suited to the slightly older child, my 7 year old grandson helped me with the final stages of building which he really ... MoreGot this for Christmas, had been looking at these architects sets for some time & was really pleased to get this one as a present.This is a large model with over 1000 pieces, inside the box are a number of plastic bags with the bricks, I transfered each bag to a zip lock bag to make sorting easier, I also used a plastic tray to sort out all the small pieces, of which there are a lot.

I used 3.6 volt LEDs you can see in the picture the result.
