This kit was one of the transparent versions that were released for nanoblock’s 10th anniversary. This kit is special because most of the bricks in the kit are transparent and come in unique colors.
This kit begins by laying a layer of brown bricks out on a clear yellow base.
I was surprised that most of the building was built in the center of the brown base. It builds in fairly straightforward layers. It was a bit tricky to tell which bricks to use in some steps.
Next, there is a step that adds some stair-looking things to the back. In the next steps, the steps are locked into place. When I built the back of the building, the bricks bent, so I needed to do more work to keep them in place.
The next step is to build the center section of the tower. I had some problems lining up the center section when I added it to my base section.
Next, some small details are added to the front section of the building.
The final step is to add the 4 spires. Building the spires was fairly straightforward. I had run out of square 1x1s, so I used round ones instead. I bought this kit used so I’m not sure if the bricks were lost or if I used square bricks where there should have been round ones.
Things I liked:
- I really like the clear bricks that were created for this kit. It makes the kit for special
Things I didn’t like:
- I didn’t like that I was missing bricks, but I knew that was a risk getting a used kit
