How to Assemble the Cross Building Set in 3 Easy Steps

Assembling your Cross Building Set is a relaxing experience designed to take approximately 2-3 hours. Follow this step-by-step guide to build your model smoothly using the included detailed instruction manual.

Before starting, consult the main guide for ideal room setups and lighting tips.

Step 1: Pre-Sorting Your 568 ABS Pieces

Begin by unboxing your kit on a flat, clean surface. Open the bags containing the 568 non-toxic ABS building blocks. Sort the pieces into three primary categories:

• Structural cross elements
• Base support bricks
• Botanical components (petals, stems, and leaf structures)

Pre-sorting ensures you can easily reference elements described in the detailed instruction manual without losing track of smaller parts.

Step 2: Constructing the Cross Core

Follow section one of the manual to assemble the sturdy vertical and horizontal beams of the cross. Ensure each piece clicks firmly together to achieve the final structural dimensions of 9.0 in 7.7 in 10.5 in. Pay close attention to the connection points designed to hold the upcoming floral branches.

Step 3: Attaching the Floral Elements

Carefully build the individual botanical assemblies. You will assemble distinct flowers including Kapok flowers, dogwood blossoms, and olive branches. Once individual blooms are built, attach them to the designated anchoring points across the cross core. Because this model is compatible with Lego Botanicals, you can make slight adjustments to flower angles to customize your final display.
