3. Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps carefully to assemble your DJECO Cap Space Rocket. No glue or tools are required; all pieces are designed to slot together.

- Add Interior Details: Place the small furniture and equipment pieces onto their respective levels within the rocket. These pieces are designed to fit into specific slots or stand freely.
- Position Figures and Accessories: Place the astronaut figures, space rover, flag, UFO, and robot around or within the rocket as desired to create your space scene.
