How the Warden Build Is Structured
This build is easiest to approach in three separate modules:
- Body core (legs and torso)
- Two arm modules
- Head module
Assembling the model in modules makes it easier to adjust arms and head positioning without affecting overall stability.
Module 1: Build the Body Core
Start with the legs and torso section to create a stable base. Make sure internal connections are firmly pressed together before attaching additional modules.

Body core assembled and ready for arm attachment.
Module 2: Attach the Arms
Build both arm sections separately, then secure them to the sides of the torso. After attaching, check that the arms move freely without loosening surrounding panels.

Arm modules aligned before final positioning.
Module 3: Add the Head
The head module completes the build. Once attached, adjust slightly if needed for your preferred display angle.

Head module ready for final attachment.
Finished Model Check
When assembled correctly, the Warden should stand upright with balanced proportions and movable arms. If alignment looks off, review:
- Head tile placement
- Arm connection height
- Torso layers fully pressed together
