Number: NBC_239
Number of Pieces: 180
Difficulty Rating: 3/5
This build began with a base layer of a lot of little bricks, so I laid the layer out on my nanoblock pad. I like that even the rounded pieces can be laid on the pad.
I then proceeded to add the layers that created the main body of the lion. While I was building, I wasn’t sure how things would look because there were bricks coming out from everywhere on the build. This does create the hair effect the lion dance costumes have in the finished build, but it did seem a little random while building.
After building the main body, I built and attached the lower jaw.
Then, I flipped the build over and added some more details along with the legs and feet. The directions for building the feet were a bit unclear because the image was at an angle.
Next, I built the top section of the head. The instructions were clear, but again, the base was a bunch of small bricks, so I used my nanoblock pad to create the head.
The last step is to attach the head to the build. This was straightforward because the directions were so clear.
Things I liked:
- I like how the build catches some of the flow of the lion dance costume
Things I didn’t like:
- The instructions for the feet were a little bit confusing
