Making tips

  1. Build the red track base first

    Complete the red track bar with rounded ends, then place the white and pale-purple detail squares inside. The tracks are the machine’s stance — settle them before attaching the body.

  2. Add the gray joint and yellow cab

    Connect the yellow cab to mid-track with the small gray block, then open the light-blue cab window. That gray neck is only a few beads — don’t shift it toward either track end.

  3. Extend the yellow boom and orange elbow

    Reach the yellow boom up and left from the cab roof, inserting the orange diagonal elbow mid-arm. Build the angled boom in sections against the chart rather than stretching it in one go.

  4. Close the red bucket

    Shape the downward-facing red bucket at the boom tip. The scoop is a curved hook — match the stepped outer edge to the chart.

  5. Check the thin neck and bucket before ironing

    Confirm the gray body–track join is closed, the orange elbow sits correctly, and the bucket arc has no missing beads before you iron.
