A little before you begin

The trunk starts separately on the table and joins the body in step 6. Keep both parts in place until then.

Count studs to check gaps and overhangs. New pieces keep their colour; earlier pieces look lighter. Before you build →

A LITTLE PREPARATION

Gather your pieces

Match the shapes and quantities. The pictures show our colours. Colour names in the steps refer to the pictures; keep useful contrasts, such as a light belly against a dark body.
