1. Preparation: Clear a well-lit, spacious work area. Open the block bags and, if desired, sort the blocks by color, shape, or size to facilitate the building process. The blocks are significantly smaller than standard building blocks, as illustrated below.

2. Follow the Booklet: Refer to the detailed instruction booklet provided. Each step is illustrated with diagrams showing which blocks to use and where to place them.
3. Layer-by-Layer Construction: Most models are built layer by layer from the base upwards. Pay close attention to the orientation of each block.
4. Precision: Due to the small size of the blocks, precision is crucial. Ensure each block is firmly connected to the adjacent blocks for a stable structure.
5. Patience: This set is rated as having a high difficulty level. Take your time and enjoy the building process. Do not force blocks together.

The final assembled model will resemble the images below:

Once fully assembled, the Balody Standing Cat figure is intended for decorative display. It serves as a static model and is not designed for active play. Handle the finished model with care to preserve its intricate details and structural integrity.

6. Maintenance

To maintain the appearance of your Balody Standing Cat figure:

• Cleaning: Gently dust the figure with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using water, cleaning solutions, or abrasive materials, as these may damage the plastic or loosen the blocks.
• Storage: Store the assembled model in a stable location away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity to prevent discoloration or material degradation.

7. Troubleshooting

• Missing Blocks: If you discover any missing blocks during assembly, carefully re-check the packaging and your work area. If blocks are still missing, refer to the manufacturer's contact information for assistance.
• Difficulty Assembling: This set has a high difficulty level. If you encounter difficulties, review the instruction booklet carefully, ensuring each step is followed precisely. Verify that the correct blocks are used for each position. Patience and attention to detail are key.
• Loose Connections: Ensure each block is pressed firmly into place. If a section feels unstable, disassemble and reassemble that specific part, ensuring all connections are secure.
