A little before you begin

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

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.
