Modern Police Station (LEGO 60316)

About this set

LEGO 60316 Modern Police Station sits in the LEGO City line with 668 pieces and a difficulty of about 2/5, so the build moves along at a relaxed pace. The finished model is a police station building in blue, white and gray with green and red accents, plus a helicopter with a helipad, a police car, a barrier/gate, and a jail cell with an iron door. The set also includes a garbage truck, a police dog, police officers and a suspect minifigure. My advice is to build the main station and jail door first, then the helicopter and helipad, and save the car, barrier and garbage truck for last so small parts do not interrupt the main structure. The trickier spots are lining up the helipad with the roof, seating the jail door correctly, and getting the barrier arm at the right angle. It suits City fans who want a police scene with vehicles and minifigures for patrol play; at 668 pieces it is a comfortable build for players with some experience.
