Setup, Compatibility & Care

To assemble the set, organize your pieces on a flat, well-lit surface, as the 351 pieces include small decorative elements that benefit from clear sorting. No specialized tools are required for construction, though a brick separator is recommended if you need to adjust placements. For maintenance, keep the set away from direct, harsh sunlight to prevent potential plastic fading over time. To clean, use a soft, dry brush or compressed air to remove dust from the intricate nooks of the display without disturbing the delicate connections.
