Handle the model with care, as the small interlocking blocks can be delicate. Avoid dropping or applying excessive force, which could cause pieces to detach.
6. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance of your nanoblock Palkia DX model, occasional cleaning is recommended. Use a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air to gently remove dust from the blocks. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these may damage the plastic or affect the color of the blocks.
Store the model in a stable location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent discoloration or warping of the plastic.
7. Troubleshooting
Missing Pieces
If you discover any missing pieces during assembly, first double-check your workspace and the packaging. Due to the small size of nanoblocks, pieces can be easily overlooked. If pieces are confirmed missing, please contact nanoblock customer support for assistance.
Difficulty with Assembly
If you encounter difficulty with a particular step, review the instruction manual carefully. Ensure that the blocks are oriented correctly and fully interlocked. Sometimes, a slight adjustment in pressure or angle is needed for proper fit. Refer to the visual diagrams for clarity.
Model Fragility
Nanoblock models, especially those with intricate designs, can be delicate. If parts frequently detach, ensure all connections are firm. For display models, some builders opt to use a small amount of plastic-safe adhesive on critical connections for added stability, though this is not required and makes disassembly difficult.
