Setup, Compatibility & Care
Building this set should be done on a clean, flat surface to ensure no small pieces are lost. Organize your bricks by color or size before beginning to streamline the process. For care, keep the model out of direct sunlight to prevent plastic degradation or sticker fading. If the model accumulates dust, use a soft-bristled brush or a compressed air canister held at a distance to clean between the containers and deck structures. The model is compatible with standard LEGO display cases if you wish to protect it from dust and debris.
