Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps to assemble your 3D paper model helmet:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all puzzle pieces from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, flat surface.
2. Identify Pieces: Most 3D paper puzzles have numbered or lettered tabs and slots. Sort the pieces by their corresponding identifiers to make assembly easier.
3. Start with Base Sections: Begin by connecting the larger, foundational pieces as indicated in the included instruction sheet or by following numerical order.
4. Connect Pieces: Gently fold the tabs on one piece and insert them into the corresponding slots on another piece. Ensure a snug fit without forcing.
5. Build Layer by Layer: Continue connecting pieces, building the helmet structure layer by layer. Pay close attention to the orientation of each piece to ensure the correct shape and design.
6. Attach Face Mask and Details: Once the main helmet body is formed, attach the face mask components and any other decorative elements or team logos as the final steps.

Operating and Usage

Once assembled, your FOCO NFL Team Football Helmet PZLZ 3D Paper Model is ready for display. It is designed as a decorative item and is not intended for wear or rough play.

• Display: Place the assembled helmet on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or moisture.
• Handling: Handle the model gently to avoid bending or damaging the paper components.

Maintenance

Proper care will help preserve the appearance and integrity of your paper model:

• Dusting: Use a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush to gently remove dust from the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or wet cloths.
• Environmental Conditions: Keep the model in a dry environment. Humidity can cause the paper to warp or degrade.
• Avoid Liquids: Do not expose the model to water or other liquids, as this will damage the paper.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during assembly or with the finished product, consider the following:

• Pieces Not Fitting: Double-check the piece identifiers and ensure you are connecting the correct tabs to the correct slots. Sometimes a slight adjustment in angle is needed.
• Damaged Piece: If a piece is torn or bent during assembly, carefully try to repair it with a small amount of clear adhesive tape on the non-visible side. For significant damage, contact customer support.
• Model Instability: Ensure all connections are secure. If the model feels wobbly, re-examine the connections, especially at the base.
