Giant nanoblock Snowman

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone! 

I created this giant snowman using around 1600+ bricks. He stands at 20cm tall. As you can see in the photos, he's about to destroy a tiny house ... Hahaha ...

Here's a video of the Giant Snowman:

If you like my creation, please vote for it here in the nanoblock Award 2013-2014. Thank you! =)

Christmas is just around the corner, so we are doing a review of a nanoblock Christmas postcard today. This is second in the series of nanoblock Christmas postcards and was released in October 2013. It allows you to build a Santa Claus sitting on a gift box and a Christmas wreath.

The bricks in this set

This postcard set did not have any specified difficulty like what you would normally find in standard nanoblock sets. There are three parts to assemble: Santa (サンタ), Present (プラセント) & Wreath (リース). 

The build instructions are different from the ones usually included with nanoblock sets and they are all in Japanese, making it quite a challenge. You can see this in the photo below. The key thing is to note the position of the different colour stars from one step to the next and place your bricks relative to the position of these stars.

Here are some photos of the completed build. 

I am starting to like nanoblock postcards. This is the second nanoblock postcard I bought from Japan. It definitely makes a great gift for yourself or your nanoblock loving friends.

Note: This is available in Amazon.

Chris's nanoblock Christmas Tree 2013

I created this using only the bricks from the Clear Color Set (NB-016) and the addition of the LED base plate to light up the tree.
