Rushing for Exhibitions

That's how my desk looks like right now, as I am rushing to build all my previous creations for some upcoming exhibitions. It looks like a lot of bricks, but it's still not enough to build everything I have ever created ... Hahaha ... My first exhibition will be in Kinokuniya @ KLCC (Malaysia) for the whole month of May ... more details will be posted closer to the date =)

Back of the box

The Tobu 100 series, branded Spacia, is a limited express electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Tobu Railway in Japan since 1990. The trains are used on Kegon and Kinu services to Nikkō and Kinugawa-Onsen. More info is available on Wikipedia and on Tobu's website.

This is the fifth limited edition nanoblock set released by the Nanoblock Store at the Tokyo Skytree. It comes with 320+ bricks and an instruction sheet.

In terms of special bricks, there is nothing really extra ordinary but it does have some clear bricks.

Even though this is a Level 3 set, building it was quite straight forward. Here are some photos of the build process.

Extra bricks included with this set

I like this set very much as it is my first nanoblock train set and I love the colour purple. You can see the fully completed Spacia train below.

This nanoblock set is available on Amazon.

nanoblock R2-D2 Build Instructions

The build instructions for my Star Wars R2-D2 Deluxe Edition is now available here. I don't know exactly how many bricks were used since I didn't do an exact count, but I estimate it at around 1500 bricks.

It took me more than 10 hours to shoot and edit/process the 200+ photos for the instructions. If you would like to support my work, please take a look at this page.

Time to Complete: 25 minutes

Item Code: NP-014

The front of the postcard

Today, we take a look at the nanoblock penguin postcard (NP-014). Generally, this is a Japan only release so you rarely see this carried by retailers outside Japan. My friend who travelled to Tokyo helped me buy this particular set. Now, lets take a look inside.

The information sheet 

Back of the postcard with a small window
to see the nanoblock inside

Here you can see the blocks nicely packed inside the postcard arranged in a single layer. There is a large sheet of transparent sticker on top of the bricks to hold them in place. You can gently peel the sticker from the postcard and the bricks will come out with the sticker. Build instructions are printed on the inside of the postcard.

Bricks still stuck on the sticker

It took me around 25 minutes to build this set containing a big penguin, a baby penguin and a gift box. Below are photos of the build process.

The extra bricks included with this set

The penguins are very cute! I think this nanoblock postcard makes a lovely gift for friends and works with any occasion. 

Note: You can find this on Amazon.
