Read before assembly
*Study the nstruct ons thoroughly before assembly.
*There are many small parts. * Assemble them carefully
referr ng to the photos n th s gu de. *It s h ghly recommended to
assemble each step n order exactly as shown.
WARNING: I recommend using a Super Glue GEL formula
- it stays put and doesn’t wic as easily as regular super
glue. Pay attention, you can glue your fingers together! Use in a well
ventilated area. If the odor bothers you, a small fan blowing on your
wor area helps.
In steps 9B-9I bu ld ng the wheels, you w ll need to glue parts that
requ re us ng super glue n t ght areas. Take your t me, be pat ent and
keep a d sposable cloth or heavy duty shop towel ava lable to w pe up
any excess n a hurry. Keep alert of where you glue and what you
handle that s st ll dry ng. If you accidentally glue your fingers together
- don’t try to force them apart, it will brea the s in before the bond -
see unstic ing remedy tip on page 10.

Chass s Exhaust S de w th
a grey fin sh
Chass s Etched S de w th
brown burn marks
NOTE: Laser cutt ng and etch ng plywood produces
two s des, an “etched s de” and an “exhaust s de”.
As the laser cuts through the plywood, the glue
used n assembl ng the plywood burns and leaves
a sl ght st cky brown res due on the etched surface and s des
as shown on (2B). The back exhaust s de of the plywood
shows grey marks shown on (2A). On the etched s de, you w ll
see burned- n deta ls l ke door l nes, and body l nes.
NOTE: In these nstruct ons you w ll be alerted to etched side
facing out and have to make sure you are glu ng w th the
correct s de fac ng out.
Ma n Floor Preparat on
When assembl ng the chass s, I choose to have the exhaust
s de of the ma n chass s floor on the ns de of the model, so
the etched s de (2B) was on d splay at the bottom. (My n t al
reason was so you wouldn’t see the exhaust grey s de when
hold ng the fin shed product. In h nds ght, I guess t doesn’t
matter, as a true past Land Rover Defender owner l ke my-
self knows, they are prone to leak a l ttle b t of o l and
grease - maybe show ng the exhaust s de underneath
would be a pos t ve d splay attr bute, e ther way works).
Keep each chass s s de w th exhaust s de n.
You w ll not ce that n some areas that the brown glue
has been filed off n the above photos. Th s w ll help fac l tate
the assembly of the two chass s s de p eces n steps 3, 4.

For the next step 8, prepare a surface area to sand all
the small parts. Th s s where the spare shoebox and or
small parts box comes n handy, espec ally f you have a l ttle
helper w th cur ous hands or are worr ed about los ng some
of them.
Sand all 48 tread p eces on both s des, remov ng the
brown res due. Th s s super helpful when plac ng and glu ng
the wheels together. You w ll also have to sand the surface of
the wheel lock ng r ms and round wheels. Th s s covered n
deta l on step 8.
Locate Wheel Parts
Open the small brown paper bag and sort through all the
small parts. Set as de the two m rrors, steer ng wheel, steer-
ng wheel column, ra sed a r ntake, two rear door h nges,
two door handles and rear bumper h tch parts.
You should be le w th 48 treads p eces - place these
w th the four lock ng wheel r ms and four of each round
wheel parts. See photo above.
Each single wheel assembly comprises of the following
parts.
- Round outer d scs w th large center holes x2
- Round nner d scs w th smaller center holes x2
- Tread p eces x12
- Wheel R m lock ng hub x1. Th s s the “wheel r m” and
also the lock ng part that holds each wheel to the axle. Th s

Sand ng Wheel Parts
TIP: Start w th sand ng both s des of all 48 wheel tread
p eces so the brown res due has been removed (8A).
Sand both s des of the wheel r m lock ng p eces (8B).
F le off the brown res due on the ns des of each wheel

axle later.
Th s shows what sanded looks l ke next to unsanded.
Sand the surface of round wheel pieces as shown above
- Sand both surfaces of ns de wheel p eces (small holes) x8
- Sand one surface of outs de wheel p eces x8

Bu ld ng Wheels 9A
As shown n the photo above, make sure to sand parts
the same and pr or to bu ld ng wheels.
I wanted to reta n the laser cut brown res due pat na on
the outs de of each wheel to match the look of the rest of the
Defender. These four outs de round wheel p eces get
sanded on one side only. The rest of the parts for each
wheel gets sanded on both s des as shown.
Gather together the sanded parts to build each wheel.
- Wheel treads x12
- Round wheel outer d scs x2 (sanded on one s de only)
- Round wheel nner d scs x2 (sanded on both s des)
Us ng the 3D assembly l ne draw ng nstruct ons as a gu de,

deta ls on how these are bu lt and assembled together.

WARNING: Gluing with CA Super Glue
can ma e your fingers stic together!
Using regular thin super glue, the vis-
cous properties ma es it wic , creep and seep into
all areas it comes in contact with - and is really hard
to see.
For this reason, I choose to use a Super Glue
GEL formula - it stays put and doesn’t wic as much
- be careful though, you can still get your fingers
stuc together!
In steps 9B-9I bu ld ng the wheels, you w ll need to
glue parts that requ re us ng super glue n t ght areas.
Ta e your time, be patient and eep a cloth or heavy
duty shop towel available to wipe up any excess in a
hurry. Be aware of where you glue and what you han-
dle. If you acc dentally glue your fingers together, see
remedy t p on page 10.

Bu ld Wheels steps 9B-9E
Start w th plac ng two wheel nner p eces together (9B)
and glu ng n each tread p ece unt l all 12 treads are fit as
shown. Make sure the tread p eces are centered, stra ght,
perpend cular to the wheel and n as far as they can go - all
the way down. Let dry.
Place glue around the edges of one s de and offer a
wheel outer p ece (sanded s de down - unsanded s de out)
to the wheel (9C). Th s w ll be the ns de of every wheel that
gets mounted to the axle.
Th s shows how the ns de of each wheel w ll look - th s
s the s de that mounts to the axle.
Th s shows the same as above (9D), but turned on the
s de. You w ll mount the wheel to the axle, then add the wheel
r m lock ng star on the axle hub and glue down the second
wheel outer p ece. See steps 9F-9I for final mount ng and
assembly.

Oops! Glued your fingers together?
Not to worry - don’t try to separate -
the glued bond w ll always w n!
You can use nail polish remover (acetone) to debond
your glued together fingers. Use the na l pol sh re-
mover n a well vent lated area, add a l ttle b t at a t me
unt l the bonded area starts to soen up. Keep add ng
the remover unt l you can free up your fingers. Th s
m ght take several appl cat ons and attempts, but the
remover w ll succeed n the end.
TIP: Wh le t’s a great exper ment to see how humans
rely on our opposable thumbs, I don’t recommend
gett ng your fingers stuck together w th super glue!
I’ve done t many t mes (by acc dent of course)
and when th s happens, t puts you nto a mass ve
pan c! You can definately feel that f you tr ed to pull
your fingers apart, your sk n w ll be the first to go.
Not a good feel ng at all.
Keep a bottle of nail polish remover close by.
