Arcanum777 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hi: I have just pieced together all the parts for the Eiffel Tower and I have a question for those of you who may have built it. According to the Bricklink inventory, part 4864b - the glass panels that make up the observation deck on level 1 - are clear. From what I can see in pictures of the box and such, they look like they are Trans-black or something. Can someone please confirm what color they are in fact? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Trans-Black is an alternate color that Lego used for the windows in this set - So all of the windows in Clear or Trans-Black would be correct. By the way, there are a few other pieces in this set with alternates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcanum777 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Thanks. I want it to be accurate, and the box through me for a loop. I was set to order 60 of the Trans-Black. Now I will rest easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I will rest easy. Happy to help (I have gone through similar situations with this set). The one other major alternate is the antenna piece - It could be clear, lt bley, metalic silver, or chrome silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcanum777 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 I bought all 4 of those colors as well as tRans-Green. I wanted to hedge my bets as to which looked best. You should help a fellow Brickpicker out with those 3 3308s you have on Ebay. I am in the process of buying everything for the Cafe Corner and Market Street. The price of that piece and the right sided door are just crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 i have this set. the panels are smoke transparent. not regular clear transparent. so they are transparent gray. the antenna is not bley or clear. it is a matte silver. so i think it would be metallic silver. not shiney chrome. hope this helps.

Arcanum777 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 It does thanks. I will have to pick up the matte silver antenna at some point when I am shopping again. Accuracy is important to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
