The Chimchar nanoblock build has 2 parts. There is a head and a body.
The build begins with the body. It begins with a layer of bricks, including clear bricks. The clear bricks will become Chimchar’s flame tail. This is a detail that mirrors the builds of the Charmander family.
The rest of the body is made of cream and brown bricks. The body and the tail are built together in layers of bricks. At some point, you attach the arms. This can be a tricky step because the bricks are chained together. Meaning it is easy for a brick lower in the chain to fall off even after the top is secured. You finish building the body by eventually adding the feet.
After building the body you move on to the head. The head begins with a layer of cream bricks. The head is built up in layers of mostly brown and cream. As you build the layers, you add the details of the eyes, nose, and ears.
The build is completed by combining the head and the body. I personally had some difficulty lining up the head so it was straight on the body.
Things I liked:
- The clear blocks for the flame on the tail are similar to how they are used in the Charmander family.
Things I didn’t like:
- It was a pain to get the head centered when I combined the head and the body
