Start Building
Look at the pictures, find the pieces in
your set that match and then connect them
together. Try to face your model in the same direction as the
instructions while you build. The arrows show you where the
parts connect, but not all connection points have arrows.
Faded colors show you this section is already built.
Connectors
Push these special connectors together
tightly until you hear a “click”.
Spacers
Be sure to use the correct color
and number of spacers shown.
