Start by laying out all pieces on a flat surface and use the inventory list provided in the manual to check off each piece.
Contact LEGO customer support with your set number and the missing piece details. They usually send replacements for missing pieces.
Use the LEGO brick separator tool for easy disassembly. Sort the pieces by size or type into ziplock bags or a storage container.
Rinse the pieces in warm water with mild detergent, use a soft brush for stubborn dirt, and let them air dry completely before reassembly.
Ensure small pieces are kept away from children under 3 years to prevent choking. Build on a stable surface and ensure good lighting.
Consider integrating pieces from other LEGO sets or creating custom designs using online LEGO design software.
Download a PDF version of the instruction manual from the official LEGO website by searching for the set number.
Follow the instructions carefully, ensure pieces are fully connected, and periodically check for any loose parts during display.
Place the model on a sturdy shelf away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading, and consider using a display case to protect it from dust.
While not recommended by LEGO, some builders use special LEGO-compatible adhesives for permanent displays. Be cautious as this may damage pieces if disassembly is required.
