How to build Billie
Making Billies head
Building Billies spine
When youre putting Billie together, you shouldnt need to orce any o his piecesogether too hard. I youre fnding it tricky, or dont understand something, ask a grown
up or some help. I Billies bones break, sadly they wont heal ...
Take each tooth rom its holder, and slot it into one o Billies tooth sockets. The teeth are
numbered rom 1 to 16. Do them one at a time, so you dont get conused about which tooth
goes where; the numbers show which order they go in. The set numbered rom 1 to 16 with the
arrow pointing downwards go into the lower jaw, and the set numbered rom 1 to 16 with the
arrow pointing upwards go into the skull.
Put the top o the skull on. Beore you
press the two parts together, check the six
connectors are lined up, so it fts securely.
C Right pelvis locking plug
These small plugs are used to join
the parts o Billies spine together.Each one has a letter so you know
where it goes. Take each plug o
only when you need it, so you dont
get conused about which one is
which.

Billies spine supports his bo
(just like your spine support
your body) so make sure all
pieces ft together securely.
Push each eyeball in, making sure you sl
the stalk on the back into the hole at the b
o the socket. Each eye fts in either sock
Once youve put in all Billies
eeth, you can attach the jaw
o the skull.
Push the bump on the lower
aw, A, into the slot at the side
o the skull, B.
You can start with either side
its easier to push in one
side at a time rather than try
o get both in together.
Push the two
halves o Billies
brain together,
enclosing the
spinal column
stem in between
the right and let
side. Then hold the
brain together and put
it into the top o the skull.

Its a good idea to take o the lower jaw while
you attach the cervical vertebrae (neck) to the
skull. Find the ball at the top o the vertebrae
and hold it in one hand. Hold the pronged clip
in your other hand and ft the clip around it.
Squeeze three o the fve prongs gently in
the hole at the base o the skull. Then pu
the two ree prongs into place to fx Billie
cervical vertebrae securely. Now you can

Now you can put the lumbar vertebrae and the
coccyx on to the lower end o Billies spinal
column. Gently push the two pieces together
until the spine is frmly
in one piece. Then
insert plug B to
lock the coccyxin place.
Four o Billies body parts come in two halves. They are the trachea, kidneys, heart and lun
Start by putting them together. You can join the two parts together by lining up the pegs on
piece with the holes on the other piece and pressing them together.
In the case o the
let lung, there are
three pegs, A, B and
C, to line up beore
you push the two parts
together.
Start at the bottom with the lumbar discs, then
work your way up the spine to the thoracic
discs, and then fnally the cervical discs.
Place the hole on each disc onto the peg on
each vertebra.
Now you can attach the thoracic
vertebrae to the cervical vertebrae.
Insert the prongs at the top o the thoracic
vertebrae into the holes at the base o the
neck. Insert plug A to lock the spine together.
Next you can put
the discs in between
each vertebra. Take just one
disc o the rame at a time, so you
know exactly where each one goes. They are dierent
sizes. The discs that slot between the lumbar vertebrae
are on the rame marked L and are numbered 1 to 5. The
discs that slot between the thoracic vertebrae are on the
rame marked T and are numbered 1 to 6, and 7 to 12.
The discs that slot between the cervical vertebrae are on
the rame marked C and are numbered 1 to 5.
Trachea HeartKidneys
Lungs
Spine (continued) Building BilliesorgansThe next vertebrae, Billies thoracic vertebrae,
need to be fxed to the back ribs. I you look
at the groove down the middle o the ribcage,
you will see a small hole. Slot the lower end
o the vertebrae strip into this hole and then
gently press the rest o the column into place.
You can check i youve slotted it into the right
place because each pair o ribs should match
up with a vertebra.
The stomach and the large and small intestines ft
together with the help o a set o joining plugs. Each plug
has a letter so you know which organ it goes with. Take
each plug o only when you need it, so you dont get
conused about which one is which.

Put together the upper blood
vessel set and the lower blood
vessel set. Then you can ft
the circulation system to the
trachea by pushing the pegs on
the veins and arteries into the
holes in the trachea.
The stomach and the large and small
intestines ft together with the help o joining
plugs D and E. Each plug has a letter so you
know which organ it goes with. Take a plug
o only when you need it, so you dont get
conused about which one is which.
Put plugs D and E into the top two
holes in the brown large intestine.
Then push down the small intestine
onto the pegs so it fts neatly.
Once the pegs are in place,
push together the small and
large intestine so they are
frmly fxed together.
Fit the three pegs on the yellow
pancreas into the three holes in t
pink stomach and press the two
together so they ft together neatl
Slot the pegs on the green
gall bladder into the holes
on the brown liver, pushing
them in frmly.

as soon as you can.
It will make building
the rest o Billie
easier.
Now you can put together the veins and
arteries. Start with the upper set (with a small
ork in them). Line up the pegs on the arteries
(blue) with the holes in the veins (red) and
press them together.
You can do the
same with the lower
blood vessels (the
ones with a largerork in them).

Putting Billies organs in placeTo attach the veins, arteries and trachea
to Billies spinal column, insert the two
pegs on the trachea into the two holes in
the spinal column and ensure the slot
in the trachea fts on the peg sticking out
rom the cervical vertebrae. Also make
sure that the peg in the coccyx slots into
the hole in the lower artery.
The kidneys sit near the
bottom o the ribcage. Line up
the three holes in each kidney
with the ork-shaped support
on the lower veins.
Fit the ends o the veins and
arteries, just below the trachea,
into the top holes o
the heart.
Push the red
spleen on to the
yellow peg on the
pancreas.
Push plug G into
the hole in the
spine between the
the oesophagus andthe pancreas. Slot the
peg on the brown liver into
the hole at the bottom o the heart and
push the hole in the liver onto plug G.
Match up the holes i
lungs with the lower
o the trachea and p
them into place.
To make the ribcage, put the ront ribs over the back ones
so the holes on the ront set match the pegs on the back
set. Then gently push each rib together, one at a time.
Insert one end o plug F into the
hole in the upper veins. Then
push the other end into the hole
in the spinal column, as shown.
Now Billies stomach and pancreas
can be put in place. Put peg A into
the hole in the spinal column just
below the end o the trachea.
Push the oesophagus down
onto peg F on the spine. Then
slot the pegs on the pancreas
into the matching holes in the
stomach.

Building Billies stand
Billies pelvis
First turn the base upside down and
put one o the metal weights in each
o the fve holes underneath.
Find the hole under Billies
coccyx and and insert the
end o the metal pole to
mount your skeleton on the
stand. Now take the let hal
o Billies pelvis and pushhe end with two holes in
t into the matching slot in
he coccyx. Then insert the
et pelvis locking plug D
hrough the two holes. Fit
he right hal o the pelvis in
he same way, using plug C.
Finally push the pegs into
he holes on the ront ends
o the pelvis to join them
ogether.
Now that Billie is on the stand, more o hi
organs can go on. Fit plugs H and I into t
two upper holes in the coccyx. They shou
ft in the grooves along the sides o the b
locking plate, stopping the skeleton rom
turning on the stand.
Put plug J into the lower let-hand hole in
the coccyx. Put plug K into the lower righ
hand hole. Put plug L into the ree hole in
stomach, above.
Put the peg on the yellow bladder into the
hole where the right and let hand sides
o the pelvis meet.
Match up the ree
ends o pIugs H
and I in the coccyx
with the two lower
holes in the beige
small intestine.
Match up the top
hole with plug L,
which is already
in the stomach.Push the pieces
together.
Slide the two lower
holes o the brown
large intestine onto
the ends o plugs J
and K (the plugs in
the coccyx).
Flip the base back the right way up, and
put the longer (40cm) metal pole into
he hole in the base. Slide the small
connecting sleeve over the upper end
o the metal pole and then slide the
shorter (30cm) pole into the top end o
he sleeve.
Make sure that the top pole is leaning
backwards a little: it needs to be or Billie to
stand up straight. Slip the black locking plate over
he top o the pole and slide it to just 3 cm rom the
op. You need to push quite hard so its a good idea
o ask an adult to help you with this.

Making Billies arms and legs Fitting Billies arms and legs
Arms
Its best to put together all our
limbs separately, and then attach
them to Billie aterwards. Start with
the right arm.
Slot the fve pegs on each shoulder blade
the back o the ribs. Hold on to the skelet
with your other hand while you press the
shoulder blade on.
Fit the pivot at the top o the right humeru
into its hole in the right scapula.You have
line up the arm so that the peg that sticks
rom the pivot fts into the slot in the scap
Finally, slot the pivots at the top o each
emur into the holes in each side o the
pelvis, turning the leg until the pegs and
slots line up.
Link the bottom o the right humerus
(unny bone) to the top o the ulna
and radius (orearm) as shown.
Then clip the lower end o the
orearm on to the right hand. Press
the joints together. Make the let arm
in the same way.
LegsStart with the right
leg. Push the joint
at the bottom o the
right emur (thigh
bone) into the clip o
the top o the tibia/
fbula.
Put clips A and B
at the bottom o the
tibia/fbula into the
holes in the right
oot. Make sure they
click in properly.
Make Billies let leg
in the same way.
Put the square peg on the
right clavicle (collarbone) into
the corresponding hole in
the right scapular (shoulder
blade). Then do the same with
the let clavicle and scapular.
Youve done it!
Youve built Billie.
Congratulations!
