This post is a review of the nanoblock Once Upon a Time, Cinderella Castle build. Once Upon a Time, Cinderella Castle is part of the nanoblock Disney attraction collection. Wondering what else is part of the Disney attraction collection? Click Here for a list.
This is a slightly larger and clear version of Disneyland Castle. It also comes with an LED base that lights the castle from the inside out. It is similar to the new base plate, but it only has battery power and doesn’t have a USB option.
This build is made of white and variously colored clear bricks. It was normally easy to tell whether to use white or clear.
The build begins by laying out a base layer of bricks. The main body of the castle builds up in layers until the main body of the castle closes up. I really liked how they created the angled walls to make the base walls appear more curved.
The next step is to build the turrets that are on the top of the castle. I really like the detail in the central turret using the 1×1 rounds.
The final step of the build is to add the lower turrets all around Cinderella Castle. I think they did a really nice job of covering the gaps between the walls and the center of the castle
Things I liked:
- The overall look and details of the castle
Things I didn’t like:
- With so many clear blocks, the build was super tight, so sometimes adding the new bricks was rough
