- Prepare the Pieces: Carefully detach all 110 pre-cut wooden pieces from their sheets. Use a fine-grit sandpaper (not included) if necessary to smooth any rough edges. Identify the pieces for C-3PO and R2-D2 separately.
- Follow Diagrams: Consult the provided instruction sheet for step-by-step diagrams specific to each character. The pieces are typically numbered or shaped to fit together in a specific sequence.
- Assemble C-3PO: Begin by assembling the core body structure of C-3PO. Use the glue sparingly to secure joints. Allow glue to dry completely before proceeding to the next section. Attach limbs, head, and other details as per the instructions.
- Assemble R2-D2: Similarly, assemble R2-D2, starting with its cylindrical body and then attaching the dome head, legs, and other characteristic features. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Drying Time: Allow ample drying time for all glued parts before handling the models extensively. This ensures structural integrity.
Painting and Finishing
Once the models are fully assembled and the glue is dry, you can proceed with painting and applying stickers to bring your characters to life.
- Paint Application: Use the provided paints and paintbrush to color C-3PO and R2-D2. C-3PO is typically gold, with some silver details. R2-D2 is primarily white and blue with silver and red accents. Refer to images of the characters for color accuracy. Apply thin, even coats of paint. You may need multiple coats for full coverage.
- Detailing: The models feature engraved lines for enhanced details. You can use a fine brush to highlight these lines or apply metallic paints for a more authentic look, as shown on the product packaging.
- Sticker Application: Once the paint is completely dry, carefully apply the stickers from the provided sheet to add intricate details to both C-3PO and R2-D2. Align them precisely according to the character designs.
- Final Drying: Allow all paint and stickers to dry thoroughly before playing with or displaying your finished models.

Troubleshooting
- Pieces not fitting: Ensure you are using the correct pieces for the current step and that they are oriented correctly. Do not force pieces together; check for any obstructions or misalignments.
- Glue not holding: Apply a small, even amount of glue to both surfaces and hold them firmly together for a few seconds. Allow sufficient drying time before moving the part. Humidity can affect drying time.
- Paint streaky or uneven: Apply paint in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next. This helps achieve a smooth, even finish.
- Missing parts: Double-check the packaging and surrounding area. If parts are genuinely missing, contact customer support.
