Model-Specific Features:



Operating and Display
Once assembled, your Keeppley Forbidden City Series models are ready for display or imaginative play. These models are designed to be sturdy yet feature some articulated parts for dynamic posing.
- Display: Place your finished models on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve their color and structural integrity.
- Poseability: Some models, such as the Ostrich and Unicorn, feature articulated joints. Gently adjust these parts to create different poses. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage.
- Interactive Elements: Certain models, like the Dragon and Lions, include hidden compartments or replaceable plaques. These can be used for small accessories or personalized display.
Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Keeppley building blocks.
- Cleaning: To clean your models, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn dust or grime, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all blocks in a sealed container to prevent loss and protect them from dust. Store in a cool, dry place.
- Handling: Handle models with care, especially when moving them, to prevent pieces from detaching.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Pieces: If you find a piece missing during assembly, first double-check the packaging and surrounding area. Sometimes small pieces can be overlooked. If still missing, contact customer support.
- Difficulty Connecting Blocks: Ensure you are using the correct blocks for the step. Apply firm, even pressure. If a block consistently doesn't fit, check for any deformities or excess material.
- Model Instability: Review the assembly steps for the unstable section. Incorrectly placed or loosely connected blocks can lead to instability. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Damaged Pieces: If a block is damaged upon arrival, do not attempt to force it. Contact customer support for a replacement.
User Tips
- Organize Your Workspace: Before starting, clear a large, well-lit area. Use small containers to sort pieces, especially for larger sets, to make assembly smoother.
- Take Your Time: Building blocks are meant to be an enjoyable activity. Don't rush the process. If you encounter a difficult step, take a break and come back to it with fresh eyes.
- Display Creatively: Utilize the poseable features and hidden compartments to create unique displays for your models. Consider adding them to a themed collection.
- Keep Instructions Handy: Store the instruction manual in a safe place, even after assembly, in case you need to reassemble or troubleshoot in the future.
