These steps must be done with each of the set of modules.

Assemble the bottom tier

To make the bottom tier of the model, which will hold the design, take five modules of the base color and glue them together. Glue should be those parts that are not disclosed. For this procedure can use PVA glue, but faster dense paper glue with a hot melt gun. Each attachment point should be clamped with a Chancellor's clamp and the date should dry well.

Assemble four of these sets and one set of three parts. The resulting dry parts to put the sharp ends together to form a circle. The junction of the sharp edges should be glued.
