1. Introduction

This instruction manual provides guidance for assembling the Dragon Quest Nanoblock Prince of Lauresia model. This building set allows you to construct a detailed miniature representation of the Prince of Lauresia character from the Dragon Quest II series using nanoblock pieces. The model consists of 180 pieces and has a difficulty level of 2 out of 5, indicating a moderately challenging but rewarding build experience.

2. Package Contents

Before beginning assembly, please verify that all components are present in your package:

• Nanoblock pieces (approximately 180 pieces)
• Instruction sheet with detailed diagrams

If any pieces are missing or damaged, please refer to the 'Warranty and Support' section for assistance.

3. Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to assemble your Dragon Quest Nanoblock Prince of Lauresia model. Due to the small size of the nanoblock pieces, it is recommended to work on a clean, well-lit surface to prevent loss of components.

1. Preparation: Open the package and carefully empty all nanoblock pieces onto your workspace. It can be helpful to sort the pieces by color and size to facilitate easier identification during assembly.
2. Review Instructions: Examine the included instruction sheet thoroughly. Nanoblock instructions typically use visual diagrams to guide the building process layer by layer. Pay close attention to the orientation and placement of each block.
3. Start from the Base: Begin assembly from the lowest layer of the model as indicated in the instructions. Ensure each block is firmly connected to the preceding blocks to create a stable structure.
4. Layer by Layer Construction: Continue building upwards, adding blocks layer by layer according to the diagrams. Each diagram usually shows the blocks to be added for that specific step.
5. Detailing: As you progress, you will add smaller, more intricate pieces to form the character's features, armor, sword, and shield. Refer to the diagrams for precise placement of these detail pieces.
6. Final Check: Once all pieces are assembled, compare your finished model with the image below and the final diagram in your instruction sheet to ensure all parts are correctly placed and securely attached.

The estimated difficulty level for this model is 2 out of 5, making it suitable for builders with some experience or those who enjoy a moderate challenge.

4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your assembled nanoblock model, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Dust can accumulate on the model over time. Use a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air to gently remove dust. For more stubborn dirt, lightly dampen a soft cloth with water (do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners) and carefully wipe the affected areas.
• Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation. Avoid placing it in areas with high humidity or extreme temperature fluctuations.
• Handling: Handle the model with care, especially when moving it, to prevent pieces from detaching. If pieces do come loose, reattach them firmly.

5. Troubleshooting

Should you encounter any issues during or after assembly, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

• Missing Pieces: Double-check your workspace and the packaging for any overlooked pieces. If a piece is genuinely missing, please contact Square Enix customer support as detailed in the 'Warranty and Support' section.
• Difficulty in Assembly: If you find a step challenging, re-examine the instruction diagrams closely. Sometimes rotating the model or viewing the diagram from a different angle can clarify the placement. Ensure blocks are pressed firmly together.
• Loose Connections: If parts of the model feel loose, gently press the connected blocks together to ensure a secure fit. Nanoblocks are designed to interlock tightly.
