Setup and Assembly
- Unpack Components: Carefully open the packaging and lay out all nanoblock pieces on a clean, flat surface. It is recommended to sort pieces by color and size to facilitate assembly.

- Begin Assembly: Start building from the base of the Flareon model as indicated in the instructions. Pay close attention to the orientation and placement of each block.
- Secure Connections: Ensure each block is firmly pressed into place to create a stable structure. Due to the small size of the blocks, a pair of tweezers (not included) may be helpful for precise placement.
- Progress Systematically: Follow the instructions sequentially. Do not skip steps, as this may lead to an incorrect or unstable model.
- Final Touches: Once all blocks are assembled, double-check the model against the final image in the instructions to ensure accuracy.
