Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your building block model, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. For more thorough cleaning, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
• Handling: Handle the model carefully to avoid accidental disassembly or damage to delicate parts.

Troubleshooting

• Missing Pieces: In the rare event of missing pieces, please contact customer support (see Support section) with details of the missing components.
• Difficulty with Assembly: If you encounter difficulty, double-check the instruction booklet for the specific step. Ensure all pieces are correctly oriented and fully pressed into place.
• Sticker Issues: If stickers do not adhere well or bubble, ensure the surface is clean and dry. For curved surfaces, applying gentle, even pressure from the center outwards can help. If issues persist, consider using a small amount of hobby adhesive for better adhesion, though this is generally not required.
