Bit of a fortunate mistake this one, interested to see what happens.
Picked this up for about £3 in the Entertainer of all places, it was black friday and it had been a long day. I thought it was nanoblocks mini-lego, until the boy unwrapped it on Christmas morn.



It's laser cut, and the detail looks pretty spectacular



Totally unsuitable for a 6 year old to even help dad with, so I'll have to build it for him

They had three or four, I think. I just assumed they were nano bricks cos I picked up the Brooklyn Bridge on the same shelf.


Don't intend going anywhere near the metrocentre in the next week but if they still have the others in the new year I'll be grabbing them

Managed to put this off for as long as I could. Not because I didn't want to build it, but because I knew the 5 year old would want to help...

Detail is pretty good considering it's only about 30 parts. It's not HMV level, but that's to be expected.
It doesn't sit entirely straight but that's down to him being a bit over zealous when he was 'assisting'



Expanded the hole in the bottom to fit a standard tealight, he is over the moon.
