I love the speed Champions.
Recently I was able to obtain multiple sets of the 007 car. I put together 7 as I thought the silver pieces would eventually be able to be used to make the silver train cars I missed out on
1st lesson: The first thing that happened was that several clips in 1 set were broken
I couldn't believe multiple bricks were broken but lego will help I'm sure.
2nd lesson: in this step, the 1 silver disc was missing but there was an extra black one
I've never had a missing piece before!
3rd lesson: a good thing that came from reading the internet was using a brick separator for applying decals.
I.e. below Without separator to apply decal
With the separator: license plate and trunk logo much better placement without wrinkles due to having to remove and place decal better
Extra light as pictured can help see steps
From qvc website Above
Light helpful for i.e. these two steps below
5th lesson: I always thought it was cheating using the rotating/flipping instructions as well as picking the pieces up without using the too box with bricks needed for that step.
6...for 2 units right and left, nothing is wrong with laying them out so it is not confusing. Initially they look the same
7th lesson. If 2 pieces are attached by clips, don't push hard to connect. Also if pieces/assembly of parts won't connect straight on, try starting to connect with a 20 degree angle i.e. 2 examples Below
The 2 clips above attach hood to car but needs gentle straight on pressure
Example 2 of above is attaching trunk pieces to brown paddle pieces
9 dont assume symmetry of pieces i.e. seats side to side i.e. front seats construction 2 pics below
10 it all comes down to attention to detail.. the light really helps. Hopefully these tips will help people!
