2.2 Assembly Steps
The assembly process involves layering bricks and securing them with pins. The provided instruction manual (physical copy) will guide you through each layer.
- Layer-by-Layer Construction: Begin with the base layer as indicated in the manual. Each diagram represents a new layer of bricks.
- Brick Placement: Carefully place each brick according to the diagram. Ensure proper alignment before securing.
- Pin Insertion: Use the provided pins and pin driver to firmly connect the bricks. Insert the pin into the designated hole and turn it 90 degrees to lock the bricks together. This creates the "brick-through" system, making the model exceptionally stable.
- Verify Connections: After completing each section or layer, gently check that all bricks are securely fastened. Loose connections can affect the overall stability of the model.
- Patience is Key: Building intricate models requires patience. Take your time and enjoy the process. If a piece doesn't fit easily, re-check the instructions and alignment rather than forcing it.

3. Display and Interaction
Once assembled, your JEKCA Gorilla 01S model is a robust display piece. While primarily a static model, its sturdy construction allows for handling and repositioning.
- Display: Place your finished gorilla model on a stable, flat surface. It makes an excellent decorative item for shelves, desks, or display cabinets.
- Handling: Due to the interlocking system, the model is designed to withstand gentle handling. Avoid excessive force or dropping the model to prevent disassembly.
- Creative Integration: Consider integrating your gorilla model with other JEKCA creations or existing displays to create unique scenes.
4. Maintenance
Proper care will ensure your JEKCA Gorilla 01S model remains in excellent condition for years to come.
- Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush. For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all bricks and pins organized in sealed containers to prevent loss and dust accumulation. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or color fading.
5. Troubleshooting
Should you encounter any issues during assembly or with the finished model, refer to these common solutions.
- Missing Pieces: If you find any missing bricks or pins, please contact JEKCA customer support with details of the missing parts and your purchase information.
- Difficulty Connecting Bricks: Ensure the bricks are correctly aligned and that the pins are fully inserted and turned 90 degrees. Do not force pieces together; re-check the instructions for proper orientation.
- Model Instability: If parts of the model feel loose, review the recently assembled sections to ensure all pins are correctly inserted and locked. The interlocking system provides significant stability when correctly applied.
