Assembly Instructions
Follow the step-by-step visual instructions provided in the included instruction sheet. The general assembly process involves connecting the miniature blocks securely.
- Understand the Diagram: Each step in the instruction sheet will show which blocks to use and where to place them. Pay close attention to the color and shape of the blocks.
- Start from the Base: Typically, Nanoblock models are built from the bottom up. Identify the base pieces and begin constructing the foundation of the Meerkat.
- Secure Connections: Ensure each block is firmly pressed into place. The small studs on top of the blocks should fit snugly into the holes on the bottom of other blocks.
- Layer by Layer: Proceed with assembly layer by layer, carefully following the sequence shown in the instructions.
- Detailing: As you progress, add smaller detail pieces to form the Meerkat's features, such as its head, limbs, and tail.
Note: Due to the small size of the blocks, precision and patience are key for successful assembly.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean your assembled Nanoblock model, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild soap solution, then wipe dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the model in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation. Keep any unused or spare blocks in a secure container to avoid loss.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Pieces: If you find any pieces are missing from your set, please contact the retailer or Nanoblock customer support for assistance.
- Difficulty Assembling: Double-check the instruction sheet to ensure you are using the correct blocks and placing them in the right orientation. Sometimes, rotating a block or re-examining the previous steps can resolve the issue.
- Loose Connections: Ensure that blocks are pressed firmly together until you feel a secure connection. If blocks repeatedly come loose, check for any debris or manufacturing imperfections.
