This nanoblock build is split into 2 parts. There is the head and the body.
The head is lined up straight, so it is an easy base. Then you build the head in layers like a normal nanoblock build. As you build the head, you will add the details of the eyes. One of the most noticeable things about this head is the hair. She has hair framing her face, and her hair is pulled up into a bow in the back. As you build the head, you will add the details to create these elements in the hair. I also liked how the purple accents in her hair, but I wish they had used the true purple bricks.
Next, you build the body. This is notable because there are several different colors in layers as you build up. In creating the build, first, you build the edges of the top, which is basically a bar of each color. You build the bar up until you add the arms and the rest of the body. Then you add the hips and the legs. This build has a nice detail in that the legs are at different depths. There is a clear brick to keep the build from tipping over.
The final steps of the build are to attach the head to the body and to build and attach the sword.
Things I liked:
- The details for the legs do not line up in terms of depth
- The accents in the hair
Things I didn’t like:
- I wish they had used the true purple instead of the more plum-colored bricks
