Number of Pieces: 320
Difficulty Rating: 4/5
I’m not sure I would rank this build a 4/5 difficulty it was closer to a 3/5 in my opinion.
The final build was a bit loose and floppy, but overall it was hard to pose because the arms are so heavy.
The build begins with his hips by adding ball socket joints where the legs will connect in. It took a while for me to understand what exactly I was building.
Then I added layers of bricks to build the torso. I added the ball sockets for the arms as well.
Then I added layers to create the head.
Then I built the legs. They are not the same but are mirrors of each other. The build was able to stand once I connected the legs to the body.
Next I added some details to the front and back of the body.
Next I built his left arm. This included the arm and the sheild. The shield was a bit complicated but everything locked in tightly.
Next I build his right arm. This included the sword and arm. I was surprised that the arm was held in one place with one stud.
The last step was to add the ribbon on the head. I was surprised to see the clear orange because it isn’t really visible.
Things I liked:
- I like how the shield looks
Things I didn’t like:
- I don’t like how the build isn’t super posable because the arms are so heavy
