Notre-Dame is a medieval Catholic Cathedral on an island on the Seine River. This is the original build that only shows the front of the cathedral. There is a second set that shows the whole cathedral.
This build shows the front of Notre-Dame with the 2 large bell towers and the plaza in front of it.
This nanoblock build begins with a clear blue base to create the Seine. The first plaza is added in the first layer of bricks.
After creating the plaza, construction on the actual cathedral begins. The building goes up in layers. The biggest problem is both the round and square 1x1s are in the same bag, so it’s tricky to get the exact brick you need.
Eventually, you add the stained glass window at the front. It is unusual because you build the window and slide it into place.
After making the window, the rest of the building is very straightforward and goes up in layers.
The build also comes with a nanoid. I didn’t include them in my build because I don’t feel like it matches the scale.
Things I liked:
- I like how recognizable it is for a small build
- The detail of the window is nice
Things I didn’t like:
- How the pieces were bagged for this kit
