Yamato........hasegawa/nanoblock

[PaulTRose]

Feel the need to do something different........got a mojo loss.....hardly touched the P38 since i opened the box

So i thought this might be a refresher

Nanoblock is a japanese micro lego clone

1700 bits to make a yamato battleship.....pic of the bits so you can see the size of them.....instructions are a sort of plan type....each section is another layer of blocks

Now that really is something different. That's a lot of bits. I imagine you'll have to be very methodical and keep checking progress as an early error could come back to bite you. Hope to see progress shots.

so 3 hours work and im 5 layers done
and yes you really have keep an eye on the plans......several times ive got to the end of a layer and somethings wrong......check back and a block one square out throws out the whole thing further along
But its strangely very satisfying

Very nice looking kit. Never seen the micro lego stuff before.
I've done several of the Expert Lego Creator sets, including a big Land Rover Defender, the 007 Aston, VW Camper, Mini Cooper, couple of Big Bikes, etc.
Looking forward to seeing how you get on with this one, keep us updated mate, cheers. 8-)

Next two layers on....really taking shape now

And i have an easy day so im really going to crack on with this........british touring car season starts soon on itv4......7 glorious hours of live racing......heaven!.....so can do this between races

[PaulTRose]

6 hours or so into this build

[PaulTRose]

Moi brane 'urts

Think i need a bit of a longer break.......ive done about a third of the central bit.....got it right on the fourth attempt.....so easy to get something wrong

[PaulTRose]

Cant stop lol......enjoying it too much

[Stefee]

No wonder your brain hurts but kudos for persevering, I would be bricking it - pun intended.

[PaulTRose]

And finished!!

Got worried towards the end cos theres loads of spares but they dont tell you......thought id missed some major step somewhere lol
