This build is identical to the Grand Piano (NBC_017) build. The only difference is that in NBC_017, the main color is black. In this build, the black bricks are white. However, the instructions are identical.

The build begins with creating the main body of the piano. It is a simple three-layer brick structure that can easily be built on the nanoblock pad.

Next, the legs are added. It is a little hard to see where exactly to connect the bricks to the main body. Getting things lined up is important because the main piano can be connected to a 10×10 base that is provided with the kit.

The next part is the trickiest part of the build. It is building the piano cover. It is tricky because it isn’t actually connected to the main body of the piano. The large section can be built on the nanoblock pad. It was straightforward, but getting a clean line at the edge of the top section was a bit tricky. The top section lays at angles on the top of the piano. It creates the image that the Grand Piano is open.

The final step is to build the stool for the piano. It is very straightforward.

Things I liked:

• I like how the piano appears to be open even though it is created by just laying a section on top of another section

Things I didn’t like:

• I don’t like how there is a base for the piano but not the stool, so the matching set is at different heights

This build is simply a tower of bricks that are 2-3 bricks deep. This allows there to be some depth and detail but still has the trim body of an electric bass.

The build begins with the base of the guitar. The build then goes up in layers to create the bass’s body. I needed to be careful to make sure I completed each layer correctly. It was a bit tricky to tell exactly which brick to use.

After building the body, the neck is added. The neck is two brick towers, one clear and one golden yellow.

The last step is to build the head of the bass. It was fairly straightforward and simple to build. I don’t really like how the finished neck looks on the finished guitar.

Things I liked:

• I really like that the build came with a pair of bricks to create a base for the bass

Things I didn’t like:

• I don’t really like how the head of the bass looks
