Based on one person building the set for the first time, following the original instructions and using numbered bags where supplied. Includes normal piece-finding and minor adjustments; excludes long breaks, filming, dismantling and modifications. Sources may use different methods. This range is neither a statistical interval nor a limit: your build may take less or more time.

How we estimate times · sources and method

Modular buildings, interiors and extensive architectural decoration make this a long project, estimated before instructions are published.

Sources do not always specify the builder’s experience. The three experience bands are our editorial assessment, based on the complexity of the set and individual accounts where available.

Beyond the set

The stories, places and inventions behind your build.

A city on 118 islands

UNESCO describes Venice as a city spread across 118 small islands. Water is part of its urban structure, not merely a backdrop.

UNESCO · Venice and its Lagoon

City and lagoon as one heritage site

The UNESCO site includes Venice and its lagoon: architecture and environment form an inseparable whole shaped by centuries of life and trade on the water.

SET THE MOOD

A soundtrack for your build

· Selected for the subject and atmosphere

Ravel offers finely worked sonic surfaces, reflections and shifting perspectives. A pairing for art and architecture when a model’s pleasure lies in proportion and shading rather than motion.

Your listening moodChoose a different soundtrack

A build to spread over several sessions: choose the more understated option when you want the instructions to take centre stage. The music does not set your pace.
