1. Introduction and Overview
This manual provides detailed instructions for assembling your nanoblock Pokémon Mega Blastoise building kit. The completed model stands approximately 2.87 inches (7.3 cm) tall and consists of 360 micro-sized pieces. This kit is rated at a difficulty level of 3 out of 5, indicating an intermediate challenge suitable for experienced builders.
nanoblock pieces are as small as 4mm x 4mm x 5mm, allowing for intricate detail and realistic expressions in your finished model. The assembly process involves following detailed step-by-step diagrams to create a 3D representation of Mega Blastoise.

4. Setup and Assembly Instructions
Before you begin, ensure you have a clean, well-lit workspace. It is recommended to sort the nanoblock pieces by color and shape to facilitate the building process. Optional tools like nanoblock tweezers (NB-019) and a nanoblock pad (NB-020) can assist in handling the small pieces and maintaining stability during construction.
Assembly Steps:
- Review Instructions: Carefully examine the included step-by-step instruction sheet. Each step illustrates the blocks to be added and their placement on the previous layer.
- Layer-by-Layer Construction: nanoblock models are built layer by layer from the base upwards. Pay close attention to the orientation of each block as shown in the diagrams.
- Block Placement: Gently press each block into place. Ensure a snug fit, but avoid excessive force which could damage the blocks or the model.
- Color and Shape Matching: Match the colors and shapes of the blocks precisely to the diagrams. Some steps may show previously assembled blocks in a faded color to highlight the new additions.
- Turning the Body: Certain steps may require turning the partially assembled body over to attach blocks to the underside. Follow the arrows and indications in the manual for these specific actions.
- Completion: Continue following the instructions until all layers are complete and the Mega Blastoise model is fully assembled.

5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean your assembled nanoblock model, gently wipe it with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using water, cleaning solutions, or abrasive materials, as these may damage the plastic or cause discoloration.
- Storage: Store the assembled model on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent warping or fading. Keep any unbuilt blocks in their original packaging or a sealed container to prevent loss.
- Disassembly: If you need to disassemble the model, do so carefully, applying gentle pressure to separate the blocks. Avoid pulling or twisting forcefully, which can damage the connection points.

6. Troubleshooting
- Difficulty Connecting Blocks: Ensure the blocks are correctly aligned with the studs on the previous layer. Apply gentle, even pressure. If a block does not fit, double-check the instruction diagram for correct orientation and block type.
- Model Instability: If the model feels unstable, review the most recent steps to ensure all blocks are securely attached and correctly placed. Incorrect placement of even a single block can affect overall stability.
- Missing Pieces: In the rare event of missing pieces, please contact nanoblock customer support with your product model number (NBPM-093) and details of the missing components.
- Discoloration/Damage: Avoid exposing the blocks to direct sunlight for prolonged periods or using harsh chemicals for cleaning, as this can lead to discoloration or material degradation.
