This post is a review of the nanoblock Minivan build. The Minivan is part of the nanoblock Sights to See collection. Wondering what else is part of the Sights to See collection? Click here for a list.
To me, this build looks like the classic Volkswagen vans. I really like how the build is shaped in the classic, familiar shape.
Number: NBH_142
Difficulty Rating: 3/5
I bought this kit in an auction containing several kits that didn’t have boxes, so I don’t have the box for this kit.
The first couple steps of the build are creating the outside frame of the minivan. This step is fairly straightforward as long as you make sure to follow the arrows. I really like the details of the door handles sticking out slightly from the build.
The next steps are to create the windows. On the edge of the windows is a white slanted piece. However, in the kit, there are 2 types of white slanted pieces, and it is hard to tell when to use each piece. Other than that, adding the windows is fairly straightforward for a few layers.
The next step is adding the side view mirrors (unique to this vehicle build) and the roof.
The next few steps create the wheel wells. This also adds the lights on the minivan.
The final step is to attach the moveable wheels to the build.
Things I liked:
- I really like it when the vehicle models move like this one
Things I didn’t like:
- Since the windows are stacks of not interlocked bricks, if you don’t put the bricks down just so the windows can fall out
