 This is the second set I've assembled featuring the DeLorean from the "Back to the Future" franchise. Exactly a year ago, I published a post about the large model of this car featured in the films that have captivated both adults and children through their time-traveling adventures. In that post, I shared my thoughts on both the film series and time travel, further enriching the post with my personal theories as well as considerations regarding the set's assembly. In this post, therefore, I invite you to read that "Lego Back to the Future DeLorean", while in this one I'll simply offer my impressions. Actually, more than discussing the set's assembly, this post is a way to photograph small Lego sets like this, which are more fun and interesting in that respect. Assembly was quite simple and relaxing for me, these Speed Champions versions are now equivalent to "warm-ups," and I have no particular considerations to make. After taking the photos, I have to say I wasn't particularly happy with the results. Initially, I thought that getting much closer to the model would make it appear larger and simultaneously capture more detail. To be honest, this turned out to be true, except that I realized that having already photographed the larger model in detail, the smaller one didn't actually perform as well. In other words, if you own two models of the same car, it goes without saying that the larger ome is more satisfying, even when photographed. The situation is different when you only own the Speed Champions version of a model; at that point, that becomes the reference, and even if not very many, the details make the difference. Focusing primarily on the photographic aspect of this car, I have to say I was wrong this time. While I enjoyed the assembly, I was nevertheless disappointed by the photos. This experience, however, made me reflect on something I had been neglecting: the difference between assembling a set primarily for myself or for review and sharing. After this set, I realized that if there's no particular story or interesting insight into a Lego set, I should assemble it purely for the pleasure of it and as a moment of relax. Photos can be taken or not, but they shouldn't be seen as fine art or something to be shown to others. Just as I'll continue to take photos but without sharing objects like shoes or other accessories, I'll do the same for those Lego sets whose story I don't find particularly interesting, or as in this case, because it's already been extensively explained in another post. Of all the photos, however, I liked the one where I took a close-up of Doc and Marty sitting inside the car. It's a photo of the mini-figures that amuses me and reminds me of the adventures in the movies. Even though I'm self-critical, in the end I always manage to find something good even where I haven't achieved the desired result, and that photo of the two protagonists truly inspires me.
