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. Sylveon is the fairy type of eeveelution from generation 6. Sylveon is a white pokemon with ribbons with pink and blue tips.

After completing all 9 eeveelutions I had the most trouble with Sylveon due to a couple hanging bricks not wanting to stay in place.

This nanoblock build begins with a base of white bricks. You then build up a few layers of white and add the pink details. To finish off the body, you need to add a simple tail.

Next, you build the head. In general, the head is pretty straightforward other than the fact it isn’t symmetrical. The head begins with a white base like the body. You then add layers of bricks that add the details for the nose and eyes. After adding several layers, you add a stack of bricks to form the end of one of Sylveon’s ribbons. There are the bricks I had a hard time keeping attached for the rest of the build. Once you add on the stack of bricks, you continue adding the ears and the ribbons in white, pink, and blue bricks. Once the head is completed, you attach the head to the body.

The final steps are to add the final details. You add feet and the ends of more ribbons.

Overall I got frustrated with the build. While the directions were easy to follow, I had difficulty getting some of the bricks to stay connected. This can be a common problem with nanoblocks if bricks are only held up by a single stud.
