LEGO Fiat 500

Streamed from September 4 to September 18, 2021

My complete build of the LEGO Fiat 500 set.

Part 1

Saturday, September 4, 2021

Let’s open up this Fiat 500 LEGO set! We start out let and struggle with some audio issues, but some days are just like this. We build the chassis, rear engine compartment, and rear fenders. We also chat about how this is not Lupin III’s car, the Rebuild of Evangelion movies, and Phantasmagoria.

Part 2

It’s yellow because it looks cool OK? Please stop asking. We add front and rear seats to the car, the dashboard, steering wheel, doors, and rear window. We chat about Roberta Williams and Sierra games, being a beta tester for King’s Quest: Mask of Eternity, different types of chocolate sandwich cookies, CD-ROMs, shareware, wearable LEGO bricks, and Galactic Snackin’ Grogu. I also take a short break in the middle to show off a case of old 3.5” floppy disks I found.

Part 3

Saturday, September 18, 2021

This cute little LEGO Fiat is almost done! Then it’s time to become a master thief—uhh, I mean paint some lovely landscapes. We continue to build up the front of the car, work our way up to the sun roof mechanism, and then discover a problem with the spare tire that requires us to take apart everything we just did. Eventually we complete the car and its painting accessories, and apply several stickers. We also chat about cute computers, fall snacks, and the PS4 Pro Cantaloupe Edition.
