Setup and Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble your Lucky Cat Taiyaki Shop:
- Preparation: Find a clean, well-lit, and flat surface for assembly. It is recommended to use a tray with edges to contain the small pieces.
- Sorting Bricks: The bricks are organized into numbered bags. Open only the bag corresponding to the current step in the instruction manual. This helps manage the large number of small pieces.
- Follow the Manual: Refer to the included detailed instruction manual. Each step is illustrated to guide you through the building process. Pay close attention to the color and shape of the mini blocks.
- Mini Block Characteristics: These are mini blocks, which are smaller than traditional building blocks. This design allows for greater detail in the final model. Ensure each block is firmly pressed into place.
- Applying Stickers: Apply stickers carefully using tweezers for precise placement. Once a sticker touches the surface, repositioning can be difficult. Align stickers accurately, especially for windows or continuous patterns.
- Checking Progress: Periodically review your progress against the manual's illustrations to ensure correct placement and alignment of bricks. Correcting errors early is easier than later stages.
