4. Assembly Instructions
Your PLAXSOON Titanic Building Set comes with a comprehensive, step-by-step instruction manual. Please follow the diagrams and piece counts carefully for each step.
Before You Begin:
- Unpack and Sort: Carefully open all bags containing the building blocks. It is highly recommended to sort the pieces by color and type before starting. Refer to the color chart provided in the manual to distinguish between similar shades.
- Choose Your Model: Decide whether you will build the complete Titanic or the sunken Titanic with the iceberg. Note that only one version can be built at a time with the included pieces.
- Review the Manual: Familiarize yourself with the instruction manual's layout and symbols. The manual will guide you through the construction process, often showing sub-assemblies and final connections.
Building Process:
The instruction manual will guide you through the assembly of the ship's hull, decks, superstructure, and intricate details. Pay close attention to the orientation of the mini blocks, as their small size requires precision.

Mini Block Information:
This set uses 3.6mm mini building blocks. These are smaller than standard building blocks, allowing for greater detail in the final model. Due to their size, assembly may require more patience and fine motor skills. These mini blocks are not compatible with major brands of building blocks.

5. Operating Instructions (Lights)
The PLAXSOON Titanic Building Set includes an integrated light kit to illuminate your finished model. The light kit is designed to be installed during the assembly process, as indicated in the instruction manual.
Light Kit Installation:
Follow the specific steps in your instruction manual for integrating the light wires and LED components into the model. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent flickering or non-functional lights.
Powering the Lights:
The light kit typically operates via a USB power source (not always included, check packaging). Connect the provided USB cable from the model to a standard USB power adapter (e.g., phone charger, computer USB port, power bank).
Activating the Lights:
Once connected to a power source, the lights should illuminate automatically. There is generally no separate switch for the lights; they are powered on when connected.

6. Maintenance
Proper care will help preserve the appearance and integrity of your PLAXSOON Titanic model.
- Cleaning: To remove dust, use a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air. For stubborn dirt, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth, avoiding excessive moisture, especially near electrical components.
- Storage: Store the model in a stable, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent discoloration or warping of the plastic blocks.
- Handling: Handle the model with care, especially when moving it, to avoid accidental disassembly of small parts.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during assembly or operation, please refer to the following common solutions:
Missing Pieces:
Carefully re-check all packaging and sorting trays. Due to the small size of the mini blocks, pieces can sometimes be overlooked. If a piece is genuinely missing, please contact PLAXSOON customer support with details of the missing part (as identified in the instruction manual).
Pieces Not Fitting:
Ensure you are using the correct pieces for the step. Double-check the part numbers and colors in the instruction manual. Sometimes, a slight adjustment or firm pressure is needed for mini blocks to connect properly. If pieces consistently do not fit, verify they are not warped or defective.
Lights Not Working:
- Verify the USB cable is securely connected to both the model and a working power source.
- Test the USB power source with another device to ensure it is providing power.
- Inspect the light kit wiring within the model for any loose connections or damage.
Model Disassembles Easily:
This can occur if blocks are not fully pressed together. Ensure each block is firmly connected to its counterparts. The small size of mini blocks can sometimes lead to less friction than larger blocks, requiring careful handling.
