6. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your Alpha Core 5029:
- Cleaning: Wipe the model gently with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during assembly or operation:
- Missing or Damaged Pieces: Carefully check all packaging. If a piece is genuinely missing or damaged, please contact MyBuild customer support.
