Setup and Assembly
Each nanoblock kit includes detailed, step-by-step instructions to guide you through the assembly process. Due to the extremely small size of the building blocks, careful handling and attention to detail are required.
Preparation:
- Unpack the contents of the box. You will find individually packaged sets for each character and their respective instruction sheets.
- Ensure you have a clean, well-lit workspace to prevent loss of small pieces.
- Familiarize yourself with the instruction sheet for the specific character you wish to build.
Assembly Steps:
- Follow the visual diagrams provided in the instruction manual precisely. Each step will show which blocks to use and where to place them.
- Begin by identifying the base pieces and gradually build upwards, layer by layer.
- Pay close attention to the color and shape of each block as indicated in the instructions.
- Some kits may include extra blocks. These are provided as spares and are not always used in the final model.

Operating and Display

- Place your completed figures on a stable, flat surface to prevent accidental falls.
- Consider displaying them in a dust-free environment or a display case to maintain their appearance.
- The small size of the figures allows for creative arrangements and integration into various decorative settings.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your nanoblock figures, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air to gently remove dust from the figures. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these may damage the plastic or cause discoloration.
- Handling: Handle figures carefully to prevent pieces from detaching. If a piece does come loose, reattach it according to the original instructions.
- Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all pieces in a sealed container to prevent loss. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to avoid material degradation.
Troubleshooting
While nanoblock kits are generally straightforward, you may encounter minor issues during assembly or display.
Common Issues:
- Missing Pieces: Although rare for sealed sets, if you believe a piece is missing, double-check your workspace and the packaging. For official support regarding missing pieces, please contact KAWADA customer service.
- Difficulty Connecting Blocks: Ensure blocks are aligned correctly before applying gentle pressure. Avoid excessive force, which can damage the blocks.
- Figure Instability: Verify that all connections are secure and that the base is properly constructed according to the instructions.
