4. Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your Rhinoceros model:

1. Prepare Pieces: Carefully press out each pre-cut piece from the plywood sheets. If any edges feel rough, use the included sandpaper to gently smooth them.
2. Identify Numbers: Each piece is numbered. The kit uses an easy-to-follow numbering system to guide the assembly process. Match corresponding numbered slots and tabs.
3. Slot Together: Begin slotting the pieces together according to their numbers. Ensure a snug fit. Force should not be necessary; if a piece doesn't fit easily, check its orientation and number.
4. Continue Assembly: Proceed with the numerical sequence until all pieces are connected and the rhinoceros model is fully formed.

No adhesive or additional tools are required for the basic assembly.

5. Finishing and Care

5.1. Finishing Your Model

Once assembled, your model can be left in its natural wood finish or customized:

• Painting: Acrylic paints or other suitable craft paints can be applied to add color and detail. Allow paint to dry completely before handling.
• Varnishing: A clear varnish can be applied to protect the wood and provide a polished appearance.

5.2. Basic Care

To maintain your model, keep it in a dry environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth.

6. Troubleshooting Tips

• Pieces Not Fitting: If a piece is difficult to slot, ensure you are matching the correct numbers and the orientation is correct. Gently use the sandpaper to slightly reduce the thickness of a tab if it is too tight.
• Damaged Pieces: If a piece breaks during removal or assembly, small amounts of wood glue can be used to repair it. Allow sufficient drying time.
