Building Instructions
The assembly process involves punching out pieces, folding them, and connecting them using tabs and slots, with glue for added stability. The C-3PO & R2-D2 model kit features a metallic finish and accurate details.
General Assembly Steps:
- Identify Pieces: Locate the pieces required for the current step on the cardstock sheets. Pieces are numbered for easy reference.
- Punch Out: Use the provided punch tool or your fingers to carefully detach the pieces from the sheets. Be gentle to avoid tearing.
- Fold: Fold along the pre-scored lines. Ensure folds are crisp and accurate for a precise fit.
- Connect: Insert tabs into corresponding slots. Apply a small amount of glue to the tabs before inserting them for a stronger, lasting bond.
- Assemble Sections: Build smaller sections first, then connect them to form larger parts of the model.
- Allow Drying Time: For sections where glue is used, allow adequate drying time before handling extensively to prevent pieces from coming apart.
Specific Tips for C-3PO & R2-D2:
- C-3PO's Metallic Finish: Handle C-3PO's metallic pieces with care to avoid fingerprints or scratches.
- R2-D2's Dome: Pay close attention to the curvature of R2-D2's dome pieces for a smooth, spherical appearance.

Maintenance
Once assembled, your 4D Build model is designed for display. Proper care will ensure its longevity and appearance.
- Dusting: Regularly dust the model with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush to prevent dust buildup.
- Avoid Moisture: Keep the model away from water and high humidity, as it is made of cardstock and glue, which can be damaged by moisture.
- Direct Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading of colors and potential warping of the cardstock.
- Handle with Care: While durable, the model is not intended for rough play. Handle it gently to avoid bending or tearing pieces.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Pieces do not fit together easily. | Ensure pieces are correctly oriented and folds are precise. Do not force pieces; gently adjust alignment. |
| Model feels unstable after assembly. | Verify that all tabs are fully inserted into their slots and that glue has been applied where indicated and allowed to dry completely. |
| Missing or damaged pieces. | Carefully check all cardstock sheets and packaging. If pieces are genuinely missing or damaged, contact customer support. |
| Metallic finish is scratched or smudged. | Minor smudges can sometimes be gently wiped with a dry, lint-free cloth. Deep scratches are difficult to repair on cardstock. Handle with care during assembly. |
