This post is a review of the nanoblock Little My build. Little My is part of the nanoblock Moomin collection.
Number: MOM-044
Difficulty Rating: 2/5
Little My lives in the Moominhouse along with Moominmama, Moominpapa, and Moomintroll. She is small and fearless and likes to go on adventures.
This build has 2 sections. There is the head and the body. Both sections are very straightforward with good directions.
When I opened this kit, I knew there was going to be a challenge to get the build done correctly because of the colors. I built this Little My on my sofa, so I didn’t have my good light. The orange bricks looked very similar to the red and skin tone. The skin tone also looked very similar to the light pink for the bow around the neck. I combated this by ensuring I kept the piles from the bags separate to pull the right color without looking too hard.
I was able to easily build the head using my pad. The head goes up in layers, adding the details of the nose, eyes, and ears. Little My has very distinctive hair that goes up and comes to a point. I like that the hair does come up to that point.
The body builds up on a 10×10 base. It begins with an outline of the body and builds up in layers. As the layers go up, the body starts to get smaller, creating Little My’s outfit that goes from wider at the bottom to more narrow at the top. The last step is to add the bow that covers her neck and connects the body and 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 how much the build looks like, Little My. I really like how she looks like she is up for mischief
Things I didn’t like:
- How similar the colors were, which made the build hard
