Assembly – Important Tips & Points

Dry Fit First:

Always test-fit parts before gluing to ensure correct orientation and alignment.

Numbered Parts:

Many files are designed to match specific locations—keep files organized during printing.

Adhesives:

Cyanoacrylate (super glue) for small parts

Epoxy for heavy base or wall sections

Painting Recommendation:

Prime all parts before painting

Use gold, bronze, stone white, and terracotta tones for an authentic Greek look

Chess Pieces Stability:

Adding small metal washers or coins under the base of pieces improves balance and premium feel.

Post-Processing:

Light sanding on stone edges enhances realism without removing sculpted detail.
