- Handling: Handle the assembled model with care to prevent accidental disassembly, especially due to the small size of the interlocking blocks.
6. Troubleshooting
- Missing Pieces: If you discover any missing pieces during assembly, please refer to the 'Warranty and Support' section for instructions on how to request replacements.
- Difficulty Connecting Blocks: Ensure blocks are correctly oriented and aligned. Apply firm, even pressure. If a block is particularly stubborn, check for any debris or manufacturing imperfections.
