5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your JMBricklayer Vintage Building Set models, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush. For stubborn dirt, lightly dampen a cloth with water (avoiding excessive moisture) and gently wipe. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store models in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation. If disassembling for storage, keep all pieces organized in sealed bags to prevent loss.
- Handling: Handle models with care to avoid accidental disassembly or damage to delicate parts.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during assembly or with the finished models, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Missing Pieces: Double-check all packaging and sorting trays. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact JMBricklayer customer support with the part number (from the back of the instruction manual) for replacement.
- Difficulty Connecting Pieces: Ensure pieces are correctly oriented and aligned. Apply gentle, even pressure. Avoid forcing pieces, as this can cause damage.
- Model Instability: Re-examine the assembly steps for the unstable section. Ensure all connections are firm and that no steps were skipped or incorrectly performed.
- Stickers/Decals: Apply stickers carefully using tweezers for precision. If a sticker is misaligned, gently peel it off and reapply before it fully adheres.
