Well not exactly... it's more a 'paint by numbers' gig.
A few things to keep in mind:
The glue is applied to BOTH the surfaces that you will be sticking together... apply the glue and then leave it for 30 seconds to a minute... it's a bit of a step-wait-step process, but if the glue is still 'wet' and not 'tacky', the pieces won't stick together and will slide all over the place - especially if they're heavy enough.
Trust me. Wait the minute between applying the glue and sticking the pieces together... cut another piece out or score the dotted fold lines of another piece while you wait.
One piece stuck to another... rinse, repeat... and the end result is - a few possible sticky fingers later - a completed piece!
(This is the 'replacement' left bicep).
Don't worry about the little 'mistakes' or apparent flaws you might see... (look at the middle section and how it appears to 'bow' in the middle of it). Don't worry about flaws... you will be applying resin to the entire piece (on both sides) and if you need to, you can and probably will be heat-forming part or all of a piece. Add to that the fact that the autobody filler will be coating the entire piece and your flaws vanish under a rock-hard slab of Bondo!
