Fun miniature version

Very excited to see this smaller version. Very fun to build and loved the way this set came together. Building the base was my favorite part and the top dome.
This is a beautiful set that was very fun to build. It took 2 of us around 4 hours of focused building and was pleasantly challenging without being too hard to build.
The Taj-Mahal by far has been my favorite Architect build to date. The level of detail and thought put into the smaller scale model was phenomenal. I took my time building only doing a bag a day during the week and 2 bags on the weekend. The repetitive building was not bad at all. With each repetitive section you got to see the design and details come together to make an absolutely awesome display piece.
First, understand that the Mughal building style is extremely symmetrical so this build by default has a lot of repetition to preserve accuracy. Finished product looks absolutely beautiful on display. Highly recommend for architecture fans! But if you can’t stand repetition definitely not the build for you!
While the end product looks great, it’s odd to me that the size of the legos are larger than the lego sizes used in all of the other Architecture sets. Kind of looks like a misfit among the others.
A terrific, eye-catching display piece, and a challenging, rewarding building experience. LEGO: please consider making more of these 2,000 - 3,000 piece "Architecture" sets -- they're awesome!
This set is amazing! I don’t know if this part is based on the real Taj Mahal, but I enjoyed the bright orange, blue and green interior pieces. They kept the build from getting monotonous in some ways. The base of this set is much sturdier than any of my other architecture sets. The time it took wasn’t too bad for the piece count. Each of the ten bags probably took me 30-45 minutes, and I’m not very quick. You would think that any and all legos are safe for your average thirteen-or-so year old, but I can see where Lego was coming from with the age rating. There are lots of small, pointed pieces. I scraped myself a time or two, but nothing that broke skin. I wouldn’t have cared if I had broken skin though, because it would have been worth it! A really, really lovely set!
