Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to assemble your Ankylosaurus model. Patience is key due to the small size of the bricks and the complexity of the design.

Step 1: Preparation and Sorting

Before you begin, ensure you have a clean, well-lit workspace. It is highly recommended to sort the bricks by color and shape to facilitate the assembly process.

Step 2: Following the Instruction Manual

The included instruction manual provides step-by-step diagrams for each layer of the model. Pay close attention to the number of studs and the connection points for each brick.

  • Layer-by-Layer Assembly: The manual illustrates the assembly layer by layer. Start with the base layer and build upwards.
  • Identify Connection Points: For each new layer, carefully count the studs and identify the exact points where new bricks connect to the previous layer.
  • Secure Placement: Press each brick firmly into place to ensure a stable connection. If a layer feels loose, gently press down on the entire section.
  • Symmetry: Many parts of the model will have symmetrical construction. Ensure you are mirroring the design correctly.

  • Display: Place your finished model on a stable surface for display.
  • Play: Handle the model gently to avoid dislodging bricks. It is not designed for rough play.

Maintenance

To keep your Ankylosaurus model in good condition:

  • Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. For more stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture.
  • Storage: If disassembling or storing, keep all bricks in a secure container to prevent loss of small parts.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause the plastic colors to fade over time.

Troubleshooting

ProblemSolution
Difficulty understanding instructionsReview the diagrams carefully. Each step builds on the previous one. Ensure you are counting studs accurately. The initial layers can be the most challenging; patience is advised.
Bricks not fitting togetherEnsure you are using the correct brick for the specified location. Apply firm, even pressure to connect bricks. If a brick seems warped, try another from the same type.
Missing piecesDouble-check your sorting area and packaging. Due to the small size, pieces can be easily overlooked. If pieces are genuinely missing, contact Larcele customer support.
Model is unstable or falls apartEnsure all bricks are pressed down firmly. Re-examine the last few steps of assembly to confirm correct placement and connection of all parts.
