INSTRUCTIONS
There are a ton of options you can follow when building this model. The black numbers
on the body refer to the model as shown in the picture.
The head can be built in two ways, the one in the picture and a mirrored one. They are
both built the same way, starting at the top and working down. Be carefull with the eyes
and it's connections, there are some small faces there. Both the heads glue on the same
place and the connections between them and the body are exactly the same.
Proceed to the torso after the head is built. Join the set 14-22 and glue it
at once to the previously built part of the model. Piece 23 goes on the back
of the torso. Start it by the part closer to the neck and work down, only
gluing the inside tabs of it AFTER the entire piece is placed.
The legs are simple. Just make sure to reinforce the connections between them and
the body and the inside of them, since the model is quite heavy. Here you have 4
different sets of legs: the one on the model (black numbers), the one mirrored (pink
numbers), the one leved on a lower level (blue numbers) and the one leveled on a
higher level (orange numbers). They all fit the same place and are built the exact
same way. Closing the lower part of the legs can offer some trouble, but nothing
exagerated. Reinforcing the inside of them can also come in handy with time.
Glue them to the body BEFORE gluing the belly but after gluing the last segment
before the belly. Close the model at the back of the belly.
After the belly is glued, build the ring. If I had to pick the hardest part of the model to
build would be the ring. It offers some troubles, for newer builders specialy. Following
numbers here is important. First, build the back part of each of the four sides of the ring.
Start by the tips and BEFORE going to the round part that connects two sides of the ring
together, glue the bigger tip to it and the two sides of this bigger segment. Now proceed
to the round parts. While building the two lower segments, start the same way:
by the tips and join both the sides by the middle round parts. Glue the gems to
the ring now, while you still have how to apply presure from the inside and they
won't bother on the gluing of any tabs. Do the same for the other side of the
ring. Alfter both sides are built, join them together by the middle part. This
connection is pretty simple. Close the ring and glue it to the body. All the
connections (back of the belly, front of the ring, back of the ring and front of the legs) are
the same, so use that as a reference while gluing th ring to the body. The ring connection is
simple, the details are a bit harder to glue. Start with the upper one, pay attention to where

the tabs are glued and the fold lines (the lines that must be folded are indicated in red).
Shape that part so the tabs can reach the top of the ring and the top of the belly. The
other two detail pieces are a bit harder to glue but the process is the same.
The back part starts with the tail. It shouldn't offer any trouble, just make sure to reinforce
the connection between the legs and the body, as you've done with the front legs.
After the model is built, proceed to the base. Here there are another ton of options.
The one shown in the picture is the one numbered in red, there's a simpler one with
brown numbers without the space for the back optional column. They both are built
the same way, start by the top, build the sides, glue the details on top (front stand
and back rock only, the plates and the optional rocks can be left unglued), put the
spacers inside so the base won't colapse and close at the bottom.
First glue the stand to the stand base and after that glue the base stand to the base.
Arceus should rest well on it. After the front stand is glued, place arceus on it and glue
the back rock where the back left leg stays, so the model won't go back and stands
perfectly still. It's a good idea to reinforce the inside of the base, specially the top part.
The spacers go under the front stand, under the back legs and under the optional column,
the last one only beeing necessary if you're building the bigger base. There are other two
optional textures for the base included on the download pack, but the use of these require
the pdo.
In order to get a better non colapsing result, I suggest reinforcing some parts, like the inside
of the legs, the neck, the belly. Keep in mind that this is a hard model and offer some tricky
parts, such as the ring. Really take you time, follow the instructions, fold the suggested lines
and with some building experience you should be fine.
