4. Setup and Assembly Instructions

The nanoblock Gudetama kit has a difficulty level of 2 out of 5. Patience and attention to detail are key for a successful build.

1. Preparation: Clear a well-lit, flat, and stable workspace. Organize your nanoblock pieces by color and shape if desired, though the small number of pieces for this model may not require extensive sorting.
2. Review Instructions: Carefully examine the included instruction booklet. It will provide step-by-step diagrams for assembling your Gudetama model.
3. Start Building: Begin by following the diagrams from the base upwards. Pay close attention to the orientation and placement of each block.
4. Piece Placement: Use gentle pressure to connect the blocks. If a piece does not fit easily, double-check the instructions to ensure correct placement. Avoid forcing pieces, as this can damage them.
5. Layer by Layer: Nanoblock models are typically built layer by layer. Ensure each layer is securely connected before proceeding to the next.
6. Detailing: The final steps will involve adding smaller detail pieces to complete Gudetama's features.

5. Operating and Display

Once assembled, your nanoblock Gudetama model is ready for display. It is a static model designed for decorative purposes.

• Place the model on a flat, stable surface to prevent accidental falls.
• Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources, which could potentially warp the plastic over time.
• The model is stackable, allowing for creative display options with other nanoblock creations.

6. Maintenance

To keep your nanoblock Gudetama model in optimal condition:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air to remove dust. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture.
• Handling: Handle the model gently. While nanoblocks are designed to connect securely, excessive force or dropping can cause pieces to detach.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all pieces in a sealed container to prevent loss.

7. Troubleshooting

Missing Pieces:

Carefully re-check your workspace and packaging. Due to the small size of nanoblock pieces, they can be easily overlooked. If pieces are genuinely missing, contact customer support (see Section 9).

Difficulty Connecting Pieces:

Ensure the pieces are correctly oriented according to the instructions. Apply firm but gentle pressure. If a piece still doesn't fit, verify it's the correct piece for that step.

Model Instability:

Review previous steps to ensure all connections are secure and pieces are correctly aligned. A loose connection in an earlier layer can affect the stability of subsequent layers.
