This post is a review of the nanoblock Moominpappa build. Moominpappa is part of the nanoblock Moomin collection.
Number: MOM-100
Difficulty Rating: 2/5
Moominpappa is by far my favorite Moomin. I’ve always thought he looks very dapper with his top hat. There is at least one book following his adventures.
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. The major parts of the head are his nose and hat. The nose is very similar to Moominmamma or Moomintroll. The top hat begins with the brim of the hat coming out over Moominpappa’s eyes. The rest of the hat goes up in simple layers.
The body builds up on a 10×10 base. It begins with Moominpappa’s feet and cane being laid out on the base. Moominpappa goes up in layers, adding the legs, tummy, and arms. His hand holding the cane is a bit odd. This is because the end of his hand is a simple 2×1 hanging off the top of the cane. I would have expected the 2 bricks at the top to be reversed based on how nanoblock normally organizes bricks.
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 love his top hat and the cane details in the build
Things I didn’t like:
- The hand holding the cane has a tippy brick, which is unusual in nanoblock builds
