Assembly Instructions

Assembly of the Seahorse Barque MCB02 typically takes approximately 10 hours. Follow the detailed step-by-step instructions provided in the included manual. Here are some general tips:

1. Preparation: Lay out all wooden sheets and identify the parts. Refer to the manual for part numbers. Work on a clean, well-lit surface.
2. Detaching Pieces: Carefully detach each piece from its wooden sheet. If a piece is difficult to remove, use a craft knife or sandpaper to gently loosen it. Detach pieces by pushing them out from the side opposite any printed markings to minimize visible damage.
3. Sanding: Lightly sand the edges of detached pieces if necessary to ensure a smooth fit and remove any small burrs from the laser cutting.
4. Follow the Manual: The included manual provides detailed diagrams and instructions for each step. Pay close attention to the orientation of pieces and the order of assembly.
5. Connecting Pieces: Pieces are designed to fit together snugly. Apply gentle, even pressure. If a connection is too tight, do not force it; instead, lightly sand the edges of the connecting tabs.
6. Sails and Rigging: The kit includes 13 sails (8 square and 5 triangular) and rigging components. Follow the manual for proper attachment and tensioning to achieve the authentic look of a sailing ship.
7. Decorative Elements: The model features 26 golden decorative elements and a golden seahorse figurehead. Attach these as indicated in the manual to enhance the ship's appearance.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the wood.
• Environment: Keep the model in a stable environment, avoiding extreme temperature changes or high humidity, which can cause the wood to warp or crack.
• Handling: Handle the model with care, especially delicate parts like the rigging and sails.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Pieces don't fit: If pieces are too tight, gently sand the connecting tabs. If too loose, a small amount of wood glue can be used (not included).
• Broken pieces: In case of minor breakage, wood glue can often repair the piece. If a critical piece is severely damaged, contact customer support for possible replacements.
• Missing pieces: Double-check all wooden sheets and packaging. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact customer support.
