2.2 Punching Out Pieces

• Refer to the instruction manual for the specific pieces needed for each step.
• Gently punch out the required pieces from the sheets. Apply even pressure to avoid tearing.
• Some pieces may have small tabs that need to be removed. Use a small, blunt tool (like a butter knife or the included punch tool if available) to carefully push these out.

2.3 Assembling the Model

• Follow the step-by-step diagrams in the instruction manual. Each step clearly indicates which pieces to use and how they connect.
• Pieces are designed to interlock securely without the need for glue. Align the tabs with the corresponding slots and gently push them together.
• Work through the sections as indicated in the manual, typically building smaller components first and then connecting them to form larger structures.
• The model is divided into several main sections, which are then joined together to form the complete Hogwarts Castle.

3. Operating Instructions

This 4D Build Harry Potter Deluxe Hogwarts Castle is a static display model. It does not require any power source or operational controls. Once assembled, it is ready for display.

4. Maintenance

• To clean the model, gently wipe it with a dry, soft cloth.
• Avoid using water, cleaning solutions, or abrasive materials, as these may damage the printed surfaces or the foam core.
• Keep the model away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent fading or warping.

5. Troubleshooting

• Pieces not fitting: Ensure you are using the correct pieces for the current step as indicated in the manual. Double-check the orientation of the pieces.
• Loose connections: Gently press interlocking tabs firmly into their slots. If a connection remains loose, a small amount of craft glue can be applied to the tab for added stability (though not typically required).
• Damaged pieces: If a piece is bent or torn during assembly, attempt to carefully flatten or repair it. For significantly damaged pieces, contact customer support for possible replacement options.
• Missing pieces: Review all sheets and the packaging thoroughly. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact customer support with details of the missing part (sheet number, piece ID).
