Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure you have a clean, well-lit workspace to keep track of the small components. Gently pop the parts out of the wooden sheets using a hobby knife or light pressure if needed. Keep the model away from moisture, as high humidity can cause the wood to warp or fit tightly. If you notice a piece is difficult to insert, check for tiny wood burrs along the edges and gently sand them down with fine-grit sandpaper for a smooth fit.
