4. Samlingsvejledning (opsætning)
This model utilizes a snap-fit design, requiring no adhesives for basic assembly. However, tools like nippers are recommended for clean part separation from runners.
4.1 Nødvendige værktøjer (ikke inkluderet)
- Nippers/Side Cutters: For cleanly removing parts from the runners.
- Hobby Knife (optional): For trimming excess plastic (nubs).
- Small Screwdriver (for battery compartment, if applicable).
- CR1220 Batteries (x2): For the LED luminescent unit.
4.2 Part Preparation
Carefully cut each part from its runner using nippers. Ensure a clean cut to minimize stress marks. The white parts feature a glossy finish, designed to resemble the character's appearance without painting.

Figure 4.2: White parts with a glossy finish, designed for unpainted assembly.
4.3 Core Body Assembly
Follow the numerical sequence in the included diagrammatic instructions to assemble the core body, starting with the torso and head. Pay attention to the orientation of each part.
4.4 LED Unit Installation
The LED luminescent unit is integrated into specific parts of the model. Install two CR1220 batteries (sold separately) into the LED unit, observing correct polarity. The unit is activated by placing the crystal (LED light switch) into its designated slot.

4.5 Articulation and Gimmick Assembly
Assemble the limbs and armor, noting the articulated joints and interactive armor gimmicks. The model features a wide range of motion for dynamic posing.
- Head and Torso Articulation: The head has a wide range of motion, allowing it to be deeply angled downwards. The abdominal parts are linked to the chest's movement, enhancing dynamic poses.
Figure 4.4: Head and torso articulation details.
- Shoulder Armor Movement: Sliding the shoulder armor upwards increases the range of motion for the arms. Moving the red parts of the shoulder armor also expands articulation.

Figure 4.6: Shoulder armor rotational movement.
- Leg and Ankle Articulation: Extending the ankle joints improves ground contact and stability for various poses.

4.6 Weapon Assembly
Assemble the Tech Lancer. It is designed to be held by the designated weapon-holding hand part.
5. Betjeningsvejledning
5.1 Activating the LED Unit
To activate the LED luminescent unit, insert the crystal (LED light switch) into its designated slot on the model. The internal LEDs will illuminate. To simulate the Super Vorteca launch scene, remove and re-insert the crystal; the LEDs will begin to blink.
5.2 Posing the Model
Utilize the various articulation points and interactive armor gimmicks to achieve dynamic poses. Refer to the assembly section for details on specific joint movements.

6. Vedligeholdelse
- Rensning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Opbevaring: Opbevar modellen et køligt, tørt sted væk fra direkte sollys og ekstreme temperaturer for at forhindre materialenedbrydning eller misfarvning.
- Udskiftning af batteri: If the LED unit's light dims or stops working, replace the CR1220 batteries. Ensure proper polarity.
- Ledpleje: If joints become loose over time, a small amount of clear nail polish or hobby-grade joint tightener can be applied to the peg and allowed to dry before reassembly.
7. Fejlfinding
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| LED unit does not light up. | Batteries are dead or incorrectly inserted. Crystal switch not fully inserted. | Check battery polarity and replace batteries if necessary. Ensure the crystal switch is fully seated. |
| Delene passer ikke sammen. | Excess plastic (nubs) remaining from runners. Incorrect part orientation. | Carefully trim any remaining nubs with a hobby knife or file. Refer to the instruction diagrams to confirm part orientation. |
| Joints are too loose. | Almindelig slitage. | Apply a thin coat of clear nail polish or hobby-grade joint tightener to the peg of the loose joint and allow it to dry completely before reassembling. |
| Model falls over easily. | Improper posing or unstable surface. Ankle joints not fully extended. | Adjust the pose to ensure balance. Place on a flat, stable surface. Extend ankle joints for better ground contact as shown in Figure 4.7. |
