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. Glaceon is the grass type of eeveelution from generation 4. Glaceon has various shades of blue with triangular ear decorations and tail.
This nanoblock build is made of 3 blues, there is a navy, a pastel, and a cerulean blue. You begin the build by making a base. You build up the body in layers of blue bricks. Once you have built the body, you add the triangular tail.
The next step is to build the head. You begin creating a base of all three blues. Next, you build up the head in layers using the various shades of blue. Framing the main pastel blue of the head you add the details for the rest of the face. I really liked how they used the cerulean to frame and create the top of the head. Once you finish the head you attach it to the body.
The final step is to add the details. First, you attach the triangular ear decorations to the head. Then you attach the feet and you have a completed build.
Overall I really did enjoy the build. I really liked the amount of detail they put into the build.
Things I liked:
- The creation of the ear details
Things I didn’t like:
- It took a long time for the head to be solid and not falling apart
