Assembly & Build Tips
- No Tools Required: The pieces punch out directly from the boards, though using an X-Acto knife or sharp hobby knife can prevent accidental paper tearing on tough corners. [1, 2]
- Utilize the Tab Puncher: Use the included puncher tool to clear out tiny slot holes before assembly to make slotting the tabs much smoother. [1, 2]
- Glue Usage: The pieces are designed to fit securely via interlocking tabs. However, the included glue is ideal for locking high-stress points like the leg joints or repairing crushed tabs. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Alternative Glue: The included modeling glue can take roughly 45 minutes to dry. Many builders recommend substituting a fast-drying super glue to speed up the construction process. [1]
