When I opened the kit I was surprised that there were three 20×20 plates. This is by far the largest base I’ve had for the NBH collection.
This kit comes with 2 stickers. I didn’t put them on the build because they cover several bricks, which means I can’t take the building apart to store it.
The first step is to build the actual memorial on one 20×20 base.
First, I laid the outline of the building on the base plate. This creates the platform the memorial is on.
After completing the platform in the first couple steps, I laid out the outline of the memorial in the center of the platform.
The memorial goes up in layers that are fairly straightforward. In one step, I added a 10×10 plate. I had difficulty adding the plate. I think this is because the building was slightly not square, so it couldn’t land on the track.
After building the white building, I added the blue roof. The roof was very straightforward.
Then, it was time to create the rest of the base. This began by laying out bricks on the base, connecting the 2 remaining base plates together.
The next step is to build the gate at the front of the base plates. The hardest part was telling that the bricks were laid out so they hung over on both sides.
After finishing the gates, I added the trees.
The kit comes with several nanoids, but I didn’t include them because they don’t match the scale of the building.
The last step is to connect the walkway to the memorial building. There is a bit of overhang on the walkway to connect the 2 plates.
Things I liked:
- I like how the build has a very long walkway by having 3 20×20 plates in a row
Things I didn’t like:
- I don’t like the stickers, and I wish it had the printed bricks that newer kits have
