USS Constitution Mini Blocks

I have a couple of comments on other mini-block things I’ve gotten other than those in this email. I enjoy almost all and do them as hand therapy after I had shoulder replacement surgery.

However, the jellyfish one I put together, only to have it crumple and fall apart, 6 times. I think it’s because too many of the blocks used are single bump wide and some seem to be a rubber instead of hard plastic. That one is worthless.

The other one that I had issues with is the Castillos San Felipe del Murro. There is a “chain” of blocks that go around the front of the fort. They only are connected at one end. They also are very fragile and fall apart continuously. I did almost that entire thing but it’s boxed up and put away because of that fragile chain.

Just in case you think I’m just a whiner. I’m attaching a video of the 28 that I’ve completed. I’ve only done ones for where I’ve been and have more yet to build.

Thanks,
Karen Hanson

The masts and sails assembled very easily. The finished product looks nice.

I like that this kit listed the blocks needed for each step. It is a challenge to work with these small blocks, but the end result was worth it.
