3. What's Included

Your Rolife Diplomatic Ship 3D Wooden Puzzle kit contains the following components:

• 3 x Laser-cut plywood sheets containing all puzzle pieces.
• 1 x Illustrated English instruction manual.
• 1 x Small sheet of sandpaper for smoothing edges.

4. Setup (Pre-assembly)

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all plywood sheets, the instruction manual, and sandpaper from the packaging.
2. Inspect Pieces: Before detaching any pieces, visually inspect all plywood sheets for any damage or missing parts. Familiarize yourself with the layout of the pieces on the sheets.
3. Prepare Workspace: Set up a clean, well-lit, and flat workspace. It is advisable to have a small container for discarded wood scraps.
4. Recommended Tools (Optional): While no tools are strictly required, a pair of fine-point tweezers can be very helpful for handling small or delicate pieces. A craft knife may also be used to carefully detach pieces, but exercise extreme caution.
5. Read Instructions: Thoroughly review the entire illustrated instruction manual before starting assembly. This will provide an overview of the steps and help prevent errors.

5. Assembly Instructions

Follow the step-by-step illustrated instructions provided in your kit. The assembly process typically takes approximately 3 hours. Patience and careful handling are key to a successful build.

• Detaching Pieces: Gently push out each piece from the plywood sheets. If a piece is stubborn, use a craft knife to carefully cut the small connecting points, or use the provided sandpaper to smooth any rough edges after detaching.
• Assembly Order: Adhere strictly to the numbered steps in the instruction manual. Pieces are designed to fit together in a specific sequence.
• Connecting Pieces: Align the tabs and slots carefully. Apply gentle, even pressure to connect pieces. Avoid forcing them, as this can cause breakage.
• Delicate Parts: Some pieces, particularly thin or intricate ones like sails, are fragile. Handle them with extreme care to prevent snapping.
• Optional Glue: While not required, a small amount of wood glue can be applied to joints for increased stability and durability, especially for parts that feel loose. Allow adequate drying time if using glue.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your completed Rolife Diplomatic Ship model:

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the wood.
• Storage/Display: Display the model in a stable location away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. These conditions can cause the wood to warp, fade, or crack.
• Handling: Handle the model gently, especially delicate parts like masts and sails, to prevent accidental breakage.

7. Troubleshooting

Pieces are difficult to detach:

Use a craft knife to carefully cut the small connecting points. Always cut away from your body. Sand any rough edges with the provided sandpaper.

Pieces do not fit together easily:

Do not force pieces. Re-check the instruction manual to ensure you are using the correct pieces and attempting to connect them in the right orientation and order. Gently sand the edges of the tabs or slots if they are slightly too tight.

Pieces break during assembly:

Some pieces are very delicate. If a piece breaks, a small amount of wood glue can be used to repair it. Allow sufficient drying time before continuing assembly.

Completed model feels unstable:

While designed for glueless assembly, applying a small amount of wood glue to critical joints can significantly improve the model's stability. Ensure all connections are fully seated.
