Difficulty Rating: 2/5
Doraemon is known for having all kinds of tools. One of these is a Time Machine. You can use the Doraemon model NBCC_074 to have Doraemon sitting and controlling the machine.
The build begins by starting with a base and extending on the base. From there, you add additional detailed outlines on the base. You continue to build the details of the time machine. You build up the chair and the console as you build on each layer. I really like that the chair is set up so it’s compatible with the Doraemon build. I really like the details of the console and the use of clear bricks in the details.
Once you have created most of the machine, you flip it over and add the supports to tie the base bricks together. I think this step should have been earlier because I had problems with the base staying connected when I was building. The last thing you add is the lamp. Stacking 24 1×1 round pieces on top of each over is difficult to get straight. The final detail is the lamp. It was tricky to get the lamp on and getting the lamp set straight.
In general, I wasn’t super excited when I completed this build. The Time Machine by itself is a little boring because it is just a seat and a lamp. I did get excited; however, when I added the Sitting Doraemon (NBCC_074), I did in another build because it made it look a lot less empty.
Things I liked:
- The playability of the set
Things I didn’t like:
- The light is hard to get perfectly straight
- The build is a little boring by itself
