Elmo is a muppet monster that lives with his parents on Sesame Street. He is a very curious little monster.
This nanoblock set would have originally only been available at Universal Studios Japan, so I had to get it on eBay.
This build is broken into 2 parts: a body and a head. Elmo stands on a brown 10×10 base. The first step is to add the feet to the base. After adding the feet, you add the legs and the torso to the bottom. Then you add the little arms and lock the arms to the body with a brick.
Once you have completed the body, it’s time to move on to the head. The head starts with a base of red bricks. You then build the head up in layers. Unlike the other Sesame Street builds, the mouth isn’t inset and is flat with the rest of the mouth. So you simply build up the head by adding layers. They add the details of the mouth, nose, and eyes.
Things I liked:
- Simple build
- Unique base from the other Sesame Street
