The LEGO parts you need to build a modern Fabuland 350 Town Hall

Would you like to build a mini version of LEGO Fabuland 350 Town Hall? Then here is a list of all the pieces you need to build a mini take on the set!

Set 350 Town Hall (which had set number 140 in some markets) is one of the largest Fabuland sets ever released. The impressive building is three stories tall, has balconies for the characters to stand on and many ornate windows to peer out of. Leonard Lion, Bertie Bulldog and Freddy Fox populate the set that also includes a fire truck and a police car.

The entire Fabuland theme was a bridge between Duplo and System for children. The sets use a mix of large, brightly coloured elements that give the theme a distinctive, blocky aesthetic that remains utterly charming to this day.

This mini model recreated that same look and feel at a dramatically reduced scale. Several facets of Town Hall prove especially tricky to mimic at this scale, most notably the stepped roof and red railings on the balconies. In several places, tiles or slopes are used in lieu of a blockier approach.

The instructions for building the model are in the Blocks Book of Retro LEGO Sets Volume II. You can buy the magazine here. If you subscribe to Blocks, you’ll get at least three new sets of LEGO build instructions in every monthly edition!

Blocks, the monthly LEGO magazine, provides exclusive instructions for models you won’t find anywhere else. You can follow the instructions closely and build the exact model shown, or take them as inspiration to build something similar but unique. Either way, these builds are a great way to learn techniques and upgrade your LEGO building skills.
