FAQs
Is glue required to assemble this set?
No, this is a mechanical metal construction set designed to be assembled using integrated tabs and the provided specialist tools.
What tools are included in the kit?
The kit includes the necessary specialist tools required to manipulate and secure the metal parts, meaning you do not need to buy extra equipment.
How long does it typically take to finish the model?
The build time varies by individual, but it generally takes between three to five hours to complete from start to finish.
Is this suitable for children?
Due to the small components and the precision required for assembly, this set is intended for older builders and enthusiasts rather than small children.
Can the finished model be disassembled?
While it is possible to reverse the assembly, it is not recommended as the metal tabs are designed to be bent and secured permanently.
Does the model require painting?
No, the model is constructed from polished stainless steel and does not require painting to achieve its authentic look.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty joining two metal pieces
Ensure the tab is fully inserted through the corresponding slot and use the included specialist tools to bend the tab securely.
Missing or damaged component
Double-check your packaging and workspace carefully. If a component is genuinely missing, contact Coach House Partners support with your specific batch number.
Metal tab breaks during bending
Avoid bending the tabs back and forth multiple times, as this weakens the metal. Make one clean, decisive bend if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin your build, ensure you have a clutter-free desk and sufficient lighting. Start by organizing the metal sheets according to the provided instructions to avoid confusion. Because the set uses specialized tools, keep these within reach throughout the assembly to ensure fasteners are tightened correctly.
For care, once the model is completed, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the stainless steel surface. A simple microfiber cloth is sufficient to remove fingerprints or dust and will keep the model looking polished for years to come. Ensure the finished piece is placed in a stable location, away from heavy moisture or extreme heat, to maintain the structural integrity of the joints.
