Difficulty Rating: 1/5
I began the base layer at the bottom of the body.
I built the body in layers, tracing around the outside of the body. This part was fairly straightforward.
After several layers, I began to work on the head.
First, I added bricks to the side to build up the sides of the face. Then I added a couple of layers to the back to create the back of the head.
Then I built the face. First, I added the cheeks in pink clear bricks. These bricks were super tight, so it was hard to put them together. Then I built the main section of the face using mostly 1×1 bricks to create the mouth and eyes.
Next, I closed up the head, connecting all the sections from the previous steps together.
Next, I added the ears.
Next, I added the feet to the base. This build is unusual because instead of being on a 10×10 baseplate, the base is a 2×10 plate.
The final step is to attach the head/body to the base.
Things I liked:
- I like how the cheeks look. It is a nice way to add depth to the build
Things I didn’t like:
- It was hard to connect the clear pink bricks to each other to build the cheeks
