I hadn't had a chance to put together some nanoblocks for
quite a while now. If you watched my
YouTube video, you will know that I opened up the Statue of Liberty kit, but didn't
actually put it together. Finally the
opportunity to put it together came.

I hadn't done one of these for a while, so I was a little
surprised at how difficult this one was.
The instructions were pretty solid, but this one was hard. I guess it had a lot to do with the fact that
this one is not symmetrical. I really
had to pay attention to this one, and as any hobbyist will tell you,
concentration is taxing.

I enjoyed building this one, but don't think the result was
particularly amazing. I just don't see a
lot of detail in this one that I would like to see. Perhaps the only way to do that is to either
make it twice the size or fabricate a lot of specialty parts. The former would make the price to high, and
the latter would affect production cost and time.
When I first looked at this kit, I thought the blue bricks
were quite interesting, but outside the box they didn't really strike me as
different at all. Ten years from now, if
nanoblocks are still growing strong, perhaps my thinking will change.
There were quite a few leftover parts, and my collection of
them is growing. I should start to think
about what I would like to build with them.
I am thinking something architectural, but I have no idea yet.

I checked the Japanese homepage of nanoblocks (yes, I know a
little Japanese) and have discovered that they have quite a few new
releases. I don't know when (or if ever)
they will come here, but I am hopeful.

So glad you did this one - I have been tempted, but it's a little expensive so I only wanted it if it would be fantastic. I agree that it's not amazing enough. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOther people who have seen it said that they liked it...it just didn't do a lot for me. I liked constructing it, but I have enjoyed others more.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky that I got it for a reduced price.
Have you checked out my YouTube videos of it? That might give you a different perspective.
Your YouTube is where I found your blog. I was looking for some better views of construction of the Karinarimon. And after seeing all those same color pieces in Lady Liberty, I decided I would chose the Great Pyramid to do instead.
ReplyDeleteI want to do the great Pyramid, but that one is hard to find in the Toronto area (so far impossible). Let me know how it turns out. Someday I will get the chance to do it.
