4. Assembly Instructions

The Nanoblock NBM-011 Pirate Ship is assembled by following the step-by-step instructions provided in the included manual. Due to the small size of the blocks, patience and precision are key.

1. Preparation: Clear a well-lit, flat surface for assembly. Organize your blocks by color and shape to facilitate easier building.
2. Follow the Manual: Refer to the detailed, illustrated instruction manual included in your package. Each step will guide you through the placement of specific blocks.
3. Layer by Layer: Nanoblock models are typically built layer by layer from the base upwards. Ensure each block is firmly connected to the previous layer.
4. Attention to Detail: Pay close attention to the orientation and color of each block as indicated in the manual to ensure structural integrity and accurate appearance.
5. Small Parts: For very small or intricate placements, consider using fine-tipped tweezers (not included) to aid in block manipulation.

5. Operating and Display

Once assembled, the Nanoblock Pirate Ship is a static display model.

• Display: Place your finished model on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or high humidity to preserve its colors and structural integrity.
• Handling: Handle the model carefully, preferably by its base, to avoid dislodging any blocks.
• Not a Toy for Play: While it is a building set, the assembled model is primarily for display and not intended for rough play, which could cause it to break apart.

6. Maintenance

To keep your Nanoblock Pirate Ship model in optimal condition:

• Cleaning: Dust the model gently with a soft brush or a can of compressed air. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these may damage the plastic or cause colors to fade.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all blocks in a sealed container to prevent loss and protect them from dust.

7. Troubleshooting

• Missing Pieces: Carefully check the packaging and your work area. Due to their small size, blocks can be easily overlooked. If pieces are genuinely missing, contact KAWADA customer support (see Section 9).
• Model Instability: Ensure all blocks are firmly pressed together. Re-examine the instruction manual for any missed steps or incorrect block placements that might affect stability.
• Difficulty with Small Blocks: If you find it challenging to place blocks with your fingers, consider using fine-tipped tweezers for better control.
