5. Operating (Posing Your Spinosaurus Model)
The nanoblock Spinosaurus model features several articulated points for dynamic posing:
- Jaw: Gently open and close the jaw to create different expressions.
- Neck: Adjust the neck's angle to simulate hunting or looking around.
- Arms and Legs: Position the limbs to mimic walking, running, or attacking stances.
- Tail: The segmented tail can be curved or straightened for added realism.
Exercise care when adjusting parts to avoid dislodging blocks.
6. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth or a small brush to gently remove dust from the model. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these may damage the blocks or cause discoloration.
- Storage: Store the model in a stable location away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and excessive humidity to prevent material degradation and color fading.
- Handling: Handle the model with care, especially when moving it, to prevent accidental disassembly. If parts become loose, reattach them firmly.
7. Troubleshooting
Loose or Detached Blocks
If blocks become loose or detach during handling or assembly, carefully reattach them by aligning the studs and pressing firmly. For very small or stubborn pieces, nanoblock tweezers can be helpful.
Model Instability
Ensure all leg and body connections are secure. The model is designed for bipedal stability, but uneven surfaces or improper assembly can affect balance. Check the base and leg joints for any misaligned blocks.
