5. Operation (Posing and Display)

Once assembled, your model kit is ready for posing and display. The Zhaoyun figure and Dragon Horse feature multiple points of articulation for dynamic poses.

• Posing: Gently manipulate the joints to achieve desired poses. Avoid forcing joints beyond their intended range of motion.
• Stability: Ensure the model is stable in its pose to prevent accidental falls and damage. Consider using a display stand (if included or purchased separately) for more complex poses.
• Interchangeable Parts: If your kit includes interchangeable hands, weapons, or armor pieces, refer to the assembly guide for proper attachment and removal.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will help preserve the appearance and longevity of your model kit.

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry brush or a microfiber cloth. For stubborn dirt, lightly dampen a cloth with water (avoid harsh chemicals or solvents).
• Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity to prevent material degradation or discoloration.
• Joint Care: If joints become loose over time, a small amount of clear nail polish or hobby-grade joint tightener can be applied to the ball joints and allowed to dry to restore friction.

7. Troubleshooting

• Loose Joints: Refer to 'Joint Care' in the Maintenance section.
• Parts Not Fitting: Double-check the assembly guide to ensure correct orientation. Some parts may require gentle pressure, but never force them. Ensure no excess plastic (nubs) remains from the runners.
• Missing Parts: If you discover missing components upon initial inspection, please contact customer support immediately.
