Description

A classic in bricks

The Beetle is one of the most recognisable cars ever made, and its rounded shape is a real challenge for bricks. This 1,626-piece model tries to reproduce the bodywork as smoothly and convincingly as it can. There are no minifigures, so the car stands on its own and works best as a display piece for a shelf or desk, where its silhouette is recognised straight away by almost everybody, even by people who rarely build.

Dark blue with grey details

The main colours are dark blue, dark bluish grey, black and medium blue. Dark blue forms the bodywork, while grey and black stand for the chassis, bumpers and interior. The 1,626 pieces come in only 114 different shapes, so many elements are repeated. For the body, that means a lot of identical bricks that you assemble layer by layer into an even, smooth surface that looks good from every angle. Careful builders watch the joins, because on a single-colour surface every crooked spot shows.

A project for car fans

The build suits anyone who enjoys fiddling with details such as mudguards, headlights and the interior fittings. It is a calm project for a few evenings rather than a quick build. Once complete, it sits well beside other vehicles from the Creator Expert range or in a small car collection of your own. If you fancy it, place it in front of a house you built yourself and you have a fitting street scene. It also makes a fine gift for a car enthusiast who already owns a collection.

Checking and reusing parts

The parts list on this page shows each element with colour and quantity, which makes it easier to reorder missing bricks. The “What can I build?” tool tells you what else your collection could make. The many blue plates and curved bricks are a good stock for your own vehicle designs, where you can swap colours, roofs or wheels to suit your taste. The Beetle can later turn into something quite personal, such as a convertible or a small delivery van.
