Maintenance
To keep your nanoblock Phoenix model in excellent condition:
- Cleaning: Gently dust the model with a soft brush or a can of compressed air. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these may damage the plastic or loosen connections.
- Handling: Handle the model carefully, especially when moving it. Avoid applying excessive force, which could cause pieces to detach.
- Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all pieces in a sealed container to prevent loss.
Troubleshooting
- Pieces do not fit: Ensure you are using the correct pieces as indicated in the instructions. Sometimes, similar-looking pieces have subtle differences. Apply gentle, even pressure.
- Model is unstable: Double-check all connections. Ensure blocks are fully pressed together. If a section feels loose, carefully retrace the steps for that section.
- Missing pieces: While rare, if you believe you are missing a crucial piece, first thoroughly check your work area and packaging. nanoblock kits often include a few extra small pieces. If a critical piece is genuinely missing, contact KAWADA customer support.
