      <image:caption>Comparison between Nanoblocks and Lego bricks. A 1x1 Nanoblock is 4mm x 4mm x 5mm or 3mm high excluding the stud. A 1x1 Lego brick is 7.8mm x 7.8mm x 11.3mm or 9.6mm high excluding the stud,.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Nanoblocks: Mininano Eevee</image:title>
      <image:caption>I ended up creating a few versions. The first being a straight copy replacing each Nanoblock with the same size Lego brick. I used brown colored bricks instead of medium nougat as I do not own enough. Unfortunately, I misplaced the instructions but the official Nanoblocks website has most of them available for download.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A few years ago I re-built Thing while making a few changes using newer released pieces for the SNOT (studs not on top) technique in order to place plates vertically as a way to represent studs as texture for Thing’s rock-like skin.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The map itself is twenty-four 32x32 stud baseplates with a layer of plates on top for the ground and water, then another layer of plates for details. I placed velcro on the back of each baseplate to allow the map to be attached to a thin sheet of plywood in order to display. When assembled it is over 6.5 feet wide. One stud represents 16x16 pixels. The map itself (without the bottom text) is 256 studs by 88 studs (each screen/section in-game is represented by 16x11 studs).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>View of the back. The first version was built normally and two studs wide so it could be viewed from either side but easily fell apart when moved due to the height and not having much built-in structure due to the placement of bricks. In order to prevent it from breaking apart as easily, and not having enough bricks to make it wider to hide, I integrated technic bricks along with placing them vertically for added support.</image:caption>
