2. Parts List

Before starting assembly, carefully open the packaging and ensure all pieces are present. It is recommended to sort the blocks by color and size to facilitate the building process.

3. Assembly Instructions

Building with nanoblocks requires precision and patience due to the small size of the components. Follow the steps below for optimal results.

3.1 General Nanoblock Assembly Tips

• Work on a clean, flat surface: This prevents losing small pieces.
• Sort your blocks: Organize pieces by color and shape before you begin.
• Use tweezers (optional): For very small or hard-to-reach pieces, fine-tipped tweezers can be helpful.
• Press firmly: Ensure each block is securely connected to the adjacent blocks.
• Follow the visual guide: Refer to the images provided in this manual and on the packaging for guidance.

3.2 Step-by-Step Construction

1. Base Construction: Begin by assembling the base plate and the initial layers of the ground. This forms the foundation for the entire scene.
2. Building Structure: Construct the grey building, paying attention to window and door placements. The building features a red door and a Pokeball emblem above it.
3. Tree and Landscaping: Assemble the green tree and place it on the designated area of the base. Add small colorful blocks to represent flowers or bushes around the tree and building.
4. Water and Yacht: Build the blue water sections and the small white and blue sailboat. Integrate these elements into the harbor area of the base.
5. Froakie Figure: Carefully assemble the Froakie figure using the blue and white blocks. Attach the transparent blue 'water splash' effect pieces around Froakie to create a dynamic pose.
6. Final Details: Add any remaining small details such as the street lamp, additional Pokeballs, and other decorative elements to complete the scene.

4. Usage and Display

Once assembled, your nanoblock Pokemon Froakie Yacht Harbor PP-004 is designed for display. It is a delicate model due to the small size of its components.

• Display Location: Place the model on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or high humidity to prevent material degradation.
• Handling: Handle the model gently. Avoid dropping it or applying excessive force, as small pieces may detach.
• Not a Toy: While a building set, the finished model is primarily for display and is not intended for rough play, especially by young children, due to small parts.

5. Maintenance

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and integrity of your nanoblock model.

• Cleaning: To remove dust, use a soft, dry brush (like a clean makeup brush or a soft paintbrush) or a can of compressed air. Do not use water or chemical cleaners, as these may damage the plastic or cause discoloration.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all pieces in a sealed container to prevent loss. Store in a cool, dry place.

6. Troubleshooting

• Missing Pieces: If you discover a missing piece during assembly, double-check the packaging and your work area. Due to the small size, pieces can be easily overlooked. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact the retailer or manufacturer for assistance.
• Blocks Not Connecting Securely: Ensure you are pressing blocks firmly together. Sometimes, a slight misalignment can prevent a secure connection. Try re-aligning and pressing again.
• Difficulty Disassembling: Use a nanoblock separator tool (if available) or a small, flat, non-metallic tool to gently pry apart stubborn connections. Avoid using excessive force to prevent damage to the blocks.
