As of this posting, nanoblock has released kits for all 9 eeveelutions. The builds have gotten more detailed as time has passed, so the first 3 builds are a bit simpler. I find that all the kits are recognizable for the pokemon they are supposed to be. Jolteon is the thunder type of eeveelution from generation 1. Jolteon is generally very spikey, especially with its collar and tail.
The Jolteon build is pretty straightforward with building up off rectangle. The spikes for the tail are created by using L-shapes and T-shapes using 1 stud to hold the piece in place and having the rest hang off. In general, things are layered, so the spikes are kept in place instead of being pushable to move. The trickiest part of the build was getting the tail lined up and completing the ears.
I enjoyed the Jolteon build overall. I feel that they did an excellent job with the spikiness of Jolteon’s tail.
Things I liked:
- The tail detail
Things I didn’t like:
- Not as much detail as the more recent eeveelution
