Troubleshooting

Bricks do not fit together securely.

Ensure you are using the correct bricks as indicated in the instructions and that they are aligned properly before pressing them together firmly.

Model feels unstable or parts fall off easily.

Double-check all connections in the relevant sections. Sometimes a brick might seem connected but isn't fully seated. Revisit the previous steps to ensure all connections are solid.

Difficulty interpreting the instruction manual.

Review the diagram carefully, paying attention to the orientation of bricks and the number of studs. If needed, seek assistance from another person.

Missing a piece.

Carefully re-check the box and the building area. If a piece is confirmed missing, contact customer support for assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly requires following the provided instruction manual step-by-step. Ensure all pieces are present before starting. It is recommended to build on a flat, stable surface. The set includes 163 interlocking bricks.

Compatibility: This model is designed as a standalone set from CaDA. While the brick system is similar to other building block brands, it is not guaranteed to be fully compatible with third-party systems for structural integrity.

Care: To maintain the appearance of the model, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing the model to direct sunlight or high temperatures, which could warp or fade the bricks. If cleaning is necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring no moisture enters the brick connections. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
