Italian Postcard (LEGO 40818)

About this set

This is LEGO Creator Italian Postcard (40818), a 189-piece scene set rated 3/5 for difficulty, with CREATOR branding on the box. The built picture gathers Italian landmarks into one postcard-like composition: the Leaning Tower of Pisa, ancient Roman architecture and the Rialto Bridge, with a gondola in the foreground and snow-capped mountains, clouds, an ITALIA sign and flowers filling out the scene. The palette runs through green, blue, white, yellow, brown and pink, with blue carrying water and sky, brown grounding the buildings and boat, and pink and yellow picking out flowers and tower details. For the build, sort by color first, then lay in the mountain and sky backdrop since blue and white parts are used heavily around the edge; tackle the leaning tower next, keeping each course offset so the whole structure does not tip, and save the Rialto arch and gondola—both fairly detail-heavy—for a single later session. Place the ITALIA sign and flowers last. It suits builders who have finished small sets and want a landscape-style MOC, or anyone turning a trip into a desk display.
