Assembly Instructions

Before beginning assembly, carefully read through the entire instruction booklet provided with your kit. Familiarize yourself with all the pieces and the sequence of steps. The model pieces are made from 1.85 mm thick Core-Gate™ Paper Technology, ensuring durability and precision.

General Assembly Tips:

• Identify all parts: Before detaching any pieces, identify them on the modeling sheets according to the instruction booklet.
• Handle with care: The pieces are precisely cut. Gently push them out from the sheets. Avoid tearing or bending.
• Follow numerical order: Assemble the model by following the numbered steps in the instruction booklet. Each piece is typically numbered to correspond with the assembly sequence.
• Apply glue sparingly: A 6 ml tube of modeling glue is provided. Apply small amounts of glue only where indicated in the instructions, typically during the final steps to secure connections. Excessive glue can damage the paper or affect the fit.
• Ensure proper fit: Make sure pieces align correctly before applying glue. If a piece does not fit easily, re-check the instructions and the piece orientation.

Maintenance and Care

To preserve the quality and appearance of your 4D Cityscape model, follow these care guidelines:

• Avoid Moisture: Keep the model away from water, high humidity, and damp environments, as moisture can damage the paper material.
• Protect from Sunlight: Direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause colors to fade. Display your model in a shaded area.
• Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air to gently remove dust from the model's surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Handle Gently: When moving or cleaning the model, handle it carefully to avoid bending or tearing delicate parts.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any difficulties during assembly, consider the following common issues and solutions:

• Pieces not fitting: Ensure you are using the correct pieces for the current step and that they are oriented as shown in the instruction diagrams. Sometimes, a gentle but firm push is needed for tabs to fully engage.
• Glue issues: If glue is not holding, ensure you are using only small amounts as specified. Allow adequate drying time before handling glued sections. If the provided glue is insufficient or not performing, a small amount of quick-drying craft glue suitable for paper can be used as an alternative, applied very carefully.
• Damaged pieces: If a piece is accidentally bent or torn, try to gently flatten it or use a small amount of glue to repair tears. For significant damage, contact customer support for possible replacement parts (availability may vary).
