Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity of your 4D Build Caraxes Dragon model, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Dust the model gently with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Environment: Keep the model in a dry environment. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, high humidity, or extreme temperature changes, which can cause warping or fading.
- Handling: Handle the model with care, especially when moving it, to prevent pieces from detaching or bending.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during assembly or with your finished model, consider the following:
- Pieces Not Fitting: Double-check the instruction manual to ensure you are using the correct pieces for the current step and that they are oriented correctly. Sometimes, a gentle but firm push is needed to secure interlocking tabs.
- Missing Pieces: Carefully re-examine the punch-out sheets and your workspace. If a piece is genuinely missing, please contact customer support.
- Model Instability: Ensure all pieces are fully interlocked and seated properly. Verify that the base is correctly assembled and placed on a flat, stable surface.
