Slimes are the quintessential monster family in the Dragon Quest games. There is a whole family of slimes, but the first one you always run into is the classic blue form. nanoblock has two slime models, a normal one in scale with the rest of the slimes and the large model.
I got this kit before I got my nanoblock pad, so I had a lot of trouble getting the entire base layer lined up. This was also my first build made of primarily clear bricks because clear bricks have a bit more flex, I had to adjust. The large slime build takes several steps to build the entire base. The steps to build the base also connect the base bricks, so when you are done, you are ready to build up the height of the build. Once you are building the height, the build is very straightforward.
Overall I really like the large Slime. I think it is highly recognizable as the monster it’s supposed to be. I think the solid bricks that make up the slime face stick out a lot with the clear body.
Things I liked:
- It’s highly recognizable
Things I didn’t like:
- How the few solid brick looks surrounded by all the clear
