Number of Pieces: 180
Difficulty Rating: 4/5
The Golem was the first non-slime build from the Dragon Quest series that I picked up. I made the purchase because of the angles that this build had. I loved how the legs are on an angle and how the arms aren’t symmetrical.
The build is rated as a level 4, and I agree entirely with this ranking. You start by building the core of the central top part of the body, which is relatively straightforward other than adding a brick to the underside that eventually holds the arm. Next, you build the head and lower abdomen, which are simple builds but a bit of a challenge to get connected in the right place because of how the photos look. Then you build the Golem’s left arm and leg; both the arm and leg have tricks to add angles and bends to the joints. The last step is building the right arm and leg. The leg uses the same tricks as the left side to generate angles. The right arm is just a stack of bricks that is pretty easy to create.
Overall I really enjoyed the build and the tricks used to add angles to the Golem. I also like how solid the build is overall, and I don’t feel like the build is going to lose any parts.
Things I liked:
- How soild and like an acutal Golem the build is
Things I didn’t like:
- The angles can be tricky with getting things lined up
