The Panlos Budokan set is quite a large set with 2681 pieces. It comes with a nice, easy to follow instruction book, which is broken down into 8 different sections during the construction process.
Fortunately with so many pieces, there are numbered bags that correspond to each section of the build, so there's a lot less confusion when it comes to looking for a specific part.
Included with the Budokan set are 4 dark gray 16x16 stud baseplates. These will be used to construct the grounds of the budokan and dojo.
There is a small sticker sheet for the kick training apparatus, but most of the other pieces in the set are printed parts.
A bonus feature of the martial arts centre is the lighting. There are three light strings included and they are used to light up the courtyard and the dojo building. As you will see with the completed set, the lighting really enhances the martial arts centre.
Panlos packages six minifigures with the set otherwise what good is a training centre when there are no trainees?
While the minifigures look like Lego, they aren't compatible in terms of the individual parts. They have unique legs, arms and hands that differ from Lego minifigures.
You have to put all of the minifigures together yourself and this is how they all look assembled.
As mentioned earlier, the budokan is composed of 8 different sections. There are a set of parts bags corresponding to each section. These 6 bags are used in Section 1.
Section 2 uses another 6 bags, as labelled.
There are 7 bags of parts in Section 3.
Section 4 has 6 bags of parts.
There are 7 bags of parts for section 5.
Six bags for section 6.
Five bags of parts for section 7.
Finally, 8 bags for section 8.
Now that we have sorted all of the bags by section, it's time to follow the maunal and build a training centre for the martial artists.
