Warsman is a character in the Kinnikuman series. He is an antagonist, but he soon becomes a protagonist and a friend of Kinnikuman. For more information about him, check out his fandom wiki page here.
Warsman is different from a typical nanoblock build because his head is at an angle instead of being built straight on.
The first step is to build the face section of the head. The face goes up in layers, originally in an angle then the angle is closed off. The next step is to build the back of Warsman’s helmet. The helmet is U-shaped as you build it in layers. After several layers, the face is attached to the helmet. The helmet goes up a few more layers and closes up to finish the head.
The next step is to build the body and hands. Unlike most builds, I was unable to see how what I was building and simply blindly followed the directions to build the body. The body is created by adding layers and connecting externally built chunks to the main body section. The directions for building are pretty clear. I didn’t notice that where you connect the right arm is brick with 1 stud on top so I needed to rip the build apart and build it again.
The last step is to build Warsman is to build his legs and feet. The legs are fairly easy to build. The problem is the directions don’t clearly show to connect the legs to the body to get the feet in the right direction. If the legs are not lined up the build doesn’t stand well. Even if a position where the build will stand is found it is still fairly tippy.
Things I liked:
- I like little yellow and red details in the build
Things I didn’t like:
- Getting the build to stand on its own is tricky, and any movement to the table causes the build to move
