Slowly the sets from the last Ali Sales action come into me. Today I’m building the little alien as a preparation for the big

The set reached me within 2 weeks via ePacket without further problems. As usual with the Asians, there was once again a funny bubble wrap ball

The instructions I had to smooth out something first, but has survived the journey to me but otherwise quite unscathed.

There is one (1) sticker in this set which, as always, is attached to the first page of the assembly instructions.

The sticker is placed on the back of the base and can be left out, in my opinion.

The set comes in 16 bags therefore and is divided into three stages. 15 bags are needed for the construction, the 16th bag contains the spare parts.

Here are the six pouches for the first phase of construction in order from left to right.

 

The third and last construction phase consists of only two bags

And the last bag with the spare parts

The construction manual is of good quality, the colors can be well distinguished. Here in the example light and dark gray …

It starts with the base/base plate. Here the basic structure according to construction section 1-10

At 1-13, the base is already done

The remaining sections of the first construction section are divided into individual subsections

The front at construction section 1-14.3

On the front of the stones are printed. The pressure is sharp and even.

The finished part is simply inserted into the Technic hole bar

The back is built like the front but 6 nubs longer

This construction manual is also stapled again.

The basic unit according to construction section 1-18

Here the inside the last side part in detail.

And the outside

The wedding

And the finished base unit

The same goes on with the construction of the little alien …
