Number: IST_003
Number of Pieces: 100
Difficulty Rating: 2
The build begins with a base layer of bricks. I laid the bricks out on my nanoblock pad. It made layering the bricks for the second layer of bricks much easier.
The rest of the body goes up in simple layers that are straightforward.
The next step is to add the horn of the beetle. I like the amount of detail in the horn.
The final step is to add the legs. Each leg is a chain of 4 black bricks added to a clear brick. The chains are fairly easy to build, but posing the legs is difficult.
Things I liked:
- I like how the horn of the beetle looks
Things I didn’t like:
- I didn’t like how hard it was to pose the legs
