Note: This is to say that I am beginning a journey of building on camera. This is called ‘Building with G,’ and I intend to create new videos, as much as possible. Stay tuned for more. The video below, will be the first one of many, I’m sure. Extra: The first episode is a little blurry due to something I worked out, after the completion of the build. I will change this for the next episode, but thought I’d release this, anyway.
So here’s a cute build for all. The overall effect of this set is about bringing the Botanicals collection to younger hands. This something that pleases me. You can see them sitting on the shelf, happily existing with pretty colours and finely made brick-greenery. Opening the box, we find four bags, two for each planter, with each one having its own instruction booklet. A quick look through and I could see that they were aiming for older children, but I do think that this would be a fine build for 4+, if they are given a chance. There are smaller parts, so they must be supported at all times.
Like many sets, the parts include some Technic pieces, just pins, really. I decided to use the digital instructions with the recorded build, using the static images, rather than the 3D option. This would offer additional help, if you are unsure, but I I do like paper instructions, so the solid paged work for me. How about you? There was a clear path as they were built, seeing designs that are not unlike the helmets or Brickheads sets. Any eager builder will adore this build, they are happy by name, and happy by nature! You can watch the ‘blurry’, Build with G, episode, below:
There is some fiddly parts to it, but that is so with all Botanicals. The plant sections have repeat parts to construct. Colours are fantastic, using a very dark green for the leaves. It makes it special by explaining in each booklet, what the plants are. The awesome Yellow, is a Dracaena (Dragon Tree.) The fabulous Blue, is a Pilea, or also known as a Friendship Plant. Knowing this gives them meaning and a sense of realism. Get these if you like short builds, or a build to share. Even though this recording was a bit blurry, have a go at building with me. At £12.99, it is of average cost, but is good for an introduction to Lego’s plant creations. Definitely have a look and see for yourself. The roots are the best bit…watch the video and see!
