Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to assemble your Millennium Falcon model. The instruction booklet uses visual diagrams to guide you through each stage.

Step 1: Prepare Pieces

1. Carefully punch out all 223 pieces from the 10 cardstock sheets. Ensure all small tabs and slots are fully detached.
2. Use the included punch-out tool (often a small cardstock piece) to remove any remaining small tabs from the slots. This ensures a clean fit.

Step 2: Follow Visual Guide

• Refer to the instruction booklet for detailed visual diagrams. Each step illustrates which pieces to connect and in what order.
• The instructions are color-coded and numbered to simplify the process. Match the piece numbers and colors shown in the diagrams to your physical pieces.

Step 3: Connect Pieces

• Gently fold pieces along pre-scored lines where indicated.
• Align the tabs of one piece with the corresponding slots of another. Carefully insert the tabs into the slots. Avoid forcing pieces to prevent damage.
• For added stability, apply a small amount of the included glue to the tabs before inserting them into the slots. Allow sufficient drying time as specified by the adhesive instructions.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your 4D Build Millennium Falcon model, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Dusting: Regularly dust the model with a soft, dry brush or a microfiber cloth to prevent dust accumulation in intricate areas.
• Storage/Display: Display the model in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity, which can cause the cardstock to warp or fade.
• Handling: Handle the model gently, preferably by its base or sturdy sections, to avoid bending or detaching pieces.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter during assembly or with the finished model:

• Pieces not fitting: Ensure all tabs are fully punched out and clear of debris. Double-check the instruction diagrams to confirm you are connecting the correct pieces in the correct orientation.
• Tabs bending/breaking: Apply gentle, even pressure when inserting tabs. If a tab bends, try to straighten it carefully. If it breaks, use a small amount of the provided glue to secure the connection.
• Model instability: Ensure all connections are firm. If certain sections feel loose, reinforce them with a small amount of glue. Allow ample drying time.
• Missing pieces: In the rare event of missing pieces, please contact 4D Build customer support with your product details.
