4. Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble your Queen Ann's Revenge 3D Puzzle. No tools or adhesive are required for assembly.
- Unpack and Organize: Carefully remove all puzzle sheets from the packaging. Identify and separate the pieces by number or section as indicated in the diagrams.
- Identify Components: Refer to the included diagrams to familiarize yourself with the different sections of the ship (hull, deck, masts, sails, etc.).
- Start with the Base: Begin by assembling the base or hull structure. Pieces are typically numbered or designed to interlock in a specific sequence.
- Interlock Pieces: Gently push the tabs of one piece into the corresponding slots of another. Ensure a snug fit without forcing, which could damage the pieces.
- Build Upwards: Continue adding layers and sections, following the numerical or diagrammatic order. The structure will gradually take shape.
- Assemble Masts and Sails: Attach the mast components and then the sails according to the diagrams. These are often the more delicate parts.
- Final Details: Add any remaining decorative elements or smaller components to complete the model.

5. Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity of your assembled 3D puzzle:
- Cleaning: Dust the model gently with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions, as they may damage the material.
- Storage: Display the puzzle in a stable location away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity to prevent warping or fading.
