The build begins by preparing the base layer. This consists of laying out bricks on the 20×20 clear base.
Then, I began to build the actual tower. Each step has the instructions to add 3 layers to the tower. Overall, the steps were very straightforward. however, I had two difficulties.
First, since the entire tower is built of rounded bricks sometimes the layer wasn’t completely square. I caught this as it happened and was able to squeeze the layer back to square.
The second problem was that in some steps, there was a step in so the lower layer was the top. Generally, it was fairly clear, but I sometimes had a hard time keeping each layer lined up.
After building the main body of the tower there are some bricks to add the final height to the tower.
Things I liked:
- I like the use of the dark grey every few layers to add some variation to the building
Things I didn’t like:
- I’m not sure if the green on the base is accurate
