Tools and materials

Card (200g photo matte – needs to be pretty strong to support that big head), Adhesive (recommend EvoStick Resin W Wood Glue), Cocktail Sticks for glue application, Craft Knife, Pencil, long round end scissors or something toact as an extra long finger :)

Feet (A1-C8)
1. Soles (A1-A4)
Glue Upper Soles (A1) to Sole Rims (A2 + A3) leaving the back of the rims open. After making the leg support cuts in the sole heel, press the cuts in slightly with a pencil. Attach the Lower Soles (A4) to the underside of the Sole construct (bend the tabs under as far as possible to assist fitting and apply glue to both tabs and sidesto assist sticking - time for that extra long finger to help secure them). Finally Glue the back of the rims to the heels of the upper and lower soles.

2. Boots (B1-B8 + C1-C8)
Assemble right foot (B1-B8), and assemble left foot (C1-C8). Check to ensure that boots fit flat to surface, if distorted make undercuts to allow more flexibility for those of us who can be a mm or two out whenconstructing such things :) Finally stick the boots to the soles, I recommend doing both boots at the same time to ensure that their position is nice and even. Extend the leg support cuts in the upper soles to meet the edges of the holes in the heels of the boots if required - the legs will need to slot through these 2 surfaces.

Legs (D1 – D4)
Assemble the pants (D1) by sticking the 2 main tabs tothe back as shown in the kit. Assemble the legs (D2 + D3) by first rolling them. I usually use roll the card round a pencil then remove the pencil and roll the card around itself. Once they are flexible enough to easily reach the tabs, apply the glue and stick in place. Next, stick the legs to the pants. I find it easiest to start by sticking the tops of the legs to the pants from the back to thefront. Finally add the top of the pants (D4) to the legs. I usually try dry fitting these parts first just so they can get acquainted before I try sticking them together. When gluing I would also apply glue to the inside of the pants as well as the tabs as this can be tricky due the inaccessibility of the tabs once in place.

Peplum (E1-E8)
Assemble the triangle formers (E3-E8) assembling the 3segmented tops of the triangles first as these can be tricky and are also the most visible section of the former. Once they are all assembled stick these to the upper surface of the Peplum. Once the segments are firmly stuck in place, glue to the formers to the underside surface of the Peplum - make sure that the arrows of both the top and bottom surfaces are pointing in the same direction. Oncethe Peplum is constructed you can trim areas of the Peplum tops and bottoms that overlap the formers using a pair of sharp scissors. Finally the Peplum can be glued to the legs using lots of adhesive :) The gluing position is marked in light green.

Torso (F1-F5)
1. Arms (F1 + F2)
Cut out and roll the 3 segments of each arm using the same technique as was used with the legs. Take notice ofwhere the score fold lines are marked as some tabs do not require scoring or folding. Once sufficiently curved glue the segments together to form 3 joined cylinders, and press the triangular tabs towards into the holes. Apply the glue to the triangular tabs and fold the arm segments into the holes as far as they’ll go.
2. Body (F3 – F5) Warning, do not glue the torso bottom or neck caps untilinstructed!!

Assemble the main torso (F3) using the build sequence diagram on the model pattern itself. Assemble the stomach section (F4), and glue the stomach to the upper. Glue the neck piece (F5) to form a cylinder. Apply glue to the lower tabs and insert into the neck hole of the upper torso – match the seam of the neck with that of the body. The tabs can then be opened out through the holes in...
