Put together 5 yellow connectors end to end and connect with green rods. Do this four times. Attach blue rods to the first set of yellow connectors as shown in pic 3. Put light blue rings on blue rods then attach a second yellow connector set next to blue rings. Now you need to make a stick using 5 orange connectors and green rods like in pic 4. Attach the orange stick to the blue rods through the orange connector holes. Then you add another yellow connector set next to the orange stick and blue rings and the last yellow sets it looks like the first pic.
