Difficulty Rating: 2/5
The box says Bic Camera Limited. I believe that this kit was only available at limited stores.
I began the build by laying out the base layer of bricks on my nanoblock pad. Then I added the second layer of bricks which connected the base layer together.
Then, I began to build up the camera’s sides. This means that the actual camera is hollow.
After adding a couple of layers to the sides, I built and added the base of the lens.
Then, I followed the clear directions to build the rest of the side of the camera and the lens.
Then, it was time to add the top and close the build-up. This was by far the most difficult part of the build. My build even exploded the first time, and I needed to restart.
The problem with the build comes from the fact that the back is offset. This means there is a wall of bricks that aren’t connected. While I was building, it tried to pop out. The hard part was making sure that when the camera back pops back in. The first time, it wasn’t lined up, so when I pushed down, the whole roof collapsed, causing the bricks to explode.
The final few steps are adding the details to the top of the camera.
Things I liked:
- I really like how the details make the build look like a miniature camera
Things I didn’t like:
- I didn’t enjoy it when my build exploded while I was building it
