1.  Prepare Your Workspace
Before you begin, make sure you have a comfortable, well-lit space to work on your model. Ocean Motion includes many small parts, so keeping a dedicated area will help you stay organised. Gaming Gibbon also recommends keeping a small container nearby to hold loose pieces so that nothing goes missing during assembly.

2.  Take Your Time with the Instructions
Timberkits are beautifully designed but require patience and attention to detail. Carefully read through the instructions before starting to build, so you have a clear idea of the overall process. At Gaming Gibbon, we encourage taking it step-by-step, as understanding each stage fully helps ensure all pieces fit correctly and smoothly.

3.  Use Sandpaper for a Smooth Build
Timberkits recommends lightly sanding certain parts to ensure smooth movement in the mechanical components. A small piece of fine-grit sandpaper can make all the difference in creating smooth motion, especially in areas like the gears and pivot points. Here at Gaming Gibbon, we often suggest this simple trick to ensure your model operates at its best.

4.  Test As You Go
As you assemble different parts of Ocean Motion, gently test the motion of each section to ensure everything is aligning correctly. Regular checks will help you spot any adjustments needed early, saving you time and frustration later on. Gaming Gibbon always advises model builders to do a “dry run” when putting mechanical parts together—this way, you know they’re working properly before final assembly.

5.  Glue Sparingly
Ocean Motion’s wooden parts require a bit of glue for secure assembly, but a little goes a long way. Applying glue sparingly will prevent unwanted buildup and ensure a clean, polished finish. For best results, we suggest using a fine-tip applicator to get just the right amount on each part.

6.  Enjoy the Process!
Building a Timberkits model is all about creativity and taking pride in the finished product. Don’t rush through—take breaks if needed, enjoy watching your project come to life, and celebrate each completed step. Gaming Gibbon stocks Timberkits because we know they’re rewarding to work on, with results that are truly satisfying.
