5. Assembly Instructions

The Nanoblock NBH_117 Stonehenge model is assembled by following the detailed, step-by-step diagrams provided in the included instruction sheet. The assembly process typically involves building the model layer by layer from the base upwards.

1. Start with the Base: Begin by placing the initial layer of blocks onto the base plate as indicated in the instructions.
2. Follow Diagrams Precisely: Each step in the instruction sheet shows which blocks to use and where to place them. Ensure blocks are firmly connected.
3. Layer by Layer: Continue adding layers of blocks, carefully checking the orientation and placement for each piece.

6. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Nanoblock model:

• Cleaning: Dust can be removed with a soft brush or a can of compressed air. For deeper cleaning, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the assembled model or loose blocks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
• Handling: Handle the model with care, especially when moving it, to prevent pieces from detaching.

7. Troubleshooting

• Missing Pieces: Double-check your workspace and packaging. If a piece is genuinely missing, refer to the 'Warranty and Support' section.
• Difficulty Connecting Blocks: Ensure blocks are correctly oriented and aligned. Apply gentle, even pressure. Avoid forcing blocks, as this can damage them.
