This section is broken into 3 parts. There is the head, main body, and the Chimpanzee’s rear end.
The head is a bit difficult to build. This is because, overall, the head is very flexible while you are building it. Whenever I added new bricks to a new section, some of the previously added bricks would fall off.
The Chimpanzee’s hips and rear end are another major section of the build. This section was very straightforward.
The third major section is the body. I would highly recommend building on a nanoblock pad. This is because there are bricks that are added to a level but not pinned in place until a couple layers later. Besides things not getting pinned in place by each layer, the build is fairly straightforward.
These 3 sections are connected to build the main body of the Chimpanzee.
The last step is to add the legs. The back legs are identical and are very simple. The front legs are trickier and require reading directions full of arrows, which makes reading more difficult. There is a display stand for the Chimpanzee. I had a surprisingly difficult time getting my build to sit on the stand.
Things I liked:
- I like how recognizable the build is as Chimpanzee
Things I didn’t like:
- Lining him up on the base was surprisingly difficult. I was able to attach it, but it took much longer than I expected
