Troubleshooting
- Pieces Not Fitting: Ensure you are using the correct pieces for each step by cross-referencing the numbers on the pieces with the instruction manual. Sometimes, a gentle adjustment or re-creasing of folds may be necessary.
- Glue Not Holding: Apply a thin, even layer of glue to the tabs. Press firmly and hold the pieces together for a few seconds to allow the adhesive to bond. Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Allow adequate drying time before handling.
- Model Instability: Double-check all connections, especially in the leg and base sections. Ensure all tabs are fully inserted and glued. The model should balance on its four legs.
- Damaged Pieces: If a piece is accidentally torn or damaged during assembly, a small amount of glue can often repair it. For significant damage, contact customer support.
