4. Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps to assemble your Diagon Alley 3D puzzle model kit. No glue or tools are required.

1. Preparation: Lay out the 8 sheets of puzzle pieces on a clean, flat, and well-lit surface. Identify the different buildings and their corresponding sheets.
2. Punching Out Pieces: Carefully punch out the individual pieces from the sheets. Refer to the detailed instructions provided in the kit for specific piece identification and order. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the pieces.
3. Following Instructions: The kit includes detailed, step-by-step instructions for each building. Assemble one building at a time, following the numerical or alphabetical sequence indicated in the manual.
4. Interlocking Pieces: The pieces are designed to interlock securely. Gently align and push the tabs into the corresponding slots. If a piece does not fit easily, do not force it; re-check the instructions and piece orientation.
5. Building Structure: Construct the base, walls, and roof sections for each building as guided by the instructions. Pay attention to the internal details and decorative elements.
6. Completing the Set: Once all four buildings (Quality Quidditch Supplies, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, Gringotts Bank, and Ollivanders Wand Shop) are assembled, they can be arranged together to form the Diagon Alley scene.

• Placement: Place the assembled model on a stable, flat surface such as a desk, shelf, or display cabinet.
• Arrangement: The four buildings can be arranged in various configurations to recreate the iconic Diagon Alley scene.
• Handling: Handle the assembled model gently to avoid dislodging pieces or damaging the structure.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your 4D Build model:

• Cleaning: Dust the model gently with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions, as they may damage the cardboard material.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, do so carefully to avoid tearing pieces. Store pieces flat in their original packaging or a similar protective container in a dry environment.
• Environment: Keep the model away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperatures to prevent warping, fading, or damage to the cardboard.

7. Troubleshooting

• Pieces Not Fitting: Ensure you are using the correct pieces for the current step and that they are oriented correctly. Refer to the instruction manual's diagrams. Do not force pieces.
• Bent or Damaged Pieces: Handle pieces gently when punching them out and during assembly. If a piece is slightly bent, carefully flatten it. Severely damaged pieces may affect the final structure.
• Model Instability: Ensure all interlocking tabs are fully inserted into their corresponding slots. Check that the base of each building is flat and stable on the display surface.
• Missing Pieces: Double-check all sheets and packaging. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact 4D Build customer support for assistance.
