Tandemaus is a Pokemon that is made up of 2 mice. They appear identical from a distance, but up close, one is wearing a shirt and the other is wearing pants.
The first step is to build 2 identical heads. I built the heads simultaneously by adding bricks to each head every step.
The build begins by creating a base segment of bricks that is 2 layers high. It takes 5 steps to complete the head.
Then I added the eyes and nose to the head.
Next, I built up the back of the head in straightforward layers.
Then I built the ears off the head chunks. I needed to build a total of 4 ears. Then I attached the ears to the heads.
Next, I followed a few steps to create the front of the head.
Then it was time to build the different bodies. They are very similar, but there are steps that are different in the build.
First, I built the body that is wearing pants. It began with a base layer I laid out on my nanoblock pad. I then added a couple of layers to the body.
Then I added the pieces to balance the build and to attach the tail.
Then I added the legs. Next, I attached the head.
Then I built the arms and attached them to the body.
Finally, I built and attached the tail.

Things I liked:
- I like that the bodies are not identical and that there is a bit of variation
Things I didn’t like:
- The eyes aren’t held in super strongly, so I kept popping them off while I was building the head
