This post is a review of the nanoblock Moomintroll build. Moomintroll is part of the nanoblock Moomin collection.
Number: MOM-043
Difficulty Rating: 2/5
Moomintroll is the main protagonist in the Moomin books and comics. The Moomintroll build is sitting, unlike Moominmama and Moominpapa.
This build has 2 sections. There is the head and the body. Both sections are very straightforward, with good directions.
I was able to easily build the head using my pad. Most of the build is creating Moomintroll’s nose. The nose is built up in several layers. Then, the eyes and ears to the head. Since the eyes are blue on a white build, they really stand out.
The body builds up on a 10×10 base. It begins with laying out the base layer of white bricks. The second layer adds the tail. the rest of the body goes up in layers. As the layers go up Moomintroll’s tummy gets smaller and heads to his neck. The body is closed up, and you are ready to attach the head.
The last step is to combine the head and the body. There is an excellent side view shot that is helpful in getting the head placed correctly.
Things I liked:
- I like that he is sitting, which makes it unique among the Moomins.
Things I didn’t like:
- In a couple places on the head, the lines between the bricks are a bit hard to see
