Assembly Instructions
Follow the step-by-step diagrams provided in the included instruction sheet. Each step illustrates the placement of specific nanoblock pieces to gradually build the Kimono Girl model.
- Start from the Base: Most nanoblock models begin with the base structure. Identify the base pieces and connect them as shown in the first steps of the manual.
- Layer by Layer: Nanoblock models are built in layers. Ensure each layer is securely connected before proceeding to the next.
- Pay Attention to Detail: The small size of nanoblock pieces requires careful attention to orientation and placement. Refer to the diagrams frequently.
- Use Gentle Pressure: Apply firm but gentle pressure to connect pieces. Excessive force is not necessary and may damage the blocks.
