Set Specific Directions
Mos Espa Podrace Diorama (75380) — wall mount
Two matching brackets support the tray under the diorama’s long black base. Leave room for the podracers and the rock arch when choosing the wall height. Choose the Slim or Wedge animation to match your hardware. The generic tray in the animation illustrates the assembly sequence. Use the brackets and hole positions on your own tray.

Check your parts and separate the hardware
Lay out the tray, all supplied brackets, and the included M3 screws and washers before you begin. Check that the tray and brackets match the mount you ordered and that the printed parts are free from visible damage. Keep the assembly hardware and wall-mounting hardware separate: the M3 screws and washers attach the tray to the brackets; the wall screws and anchors secure the assembled mount to the wall. The M3 assembly screws are not substitutes for wall-mounting screws. If you did not order wall hardware, have suitable screws and any required anchors ready before installation. Leave your set off the tray until the mount is fully assembled and securely installed.
Align the tray and brackets
On a stable surface, match the recessed holes in the empty tray to the threaded inserts in the supplied Slim or Wedge bracket(s). Use the animation for your bracket style to check which face meets the wall. Align the parts without forcing them.
Fasten the tray before marking the wall
Place a washer in each screw recess. Start the supplied M3 screws by hand through the washers and into the aligned inserts. Tighten evenly until snug, then check each joint. Use every attachment point provided on your mount.
Choose the location and mark the wall
Choose a location with enough room for the full size of your set, including any parts that extend beyond its base. Allow room to place and remove the set without striking the wall, ceiling, or nearby objects. Where practical, position the wall screws over a wall stud. Use a stud finder if needed. If a wall screw cannot go into a stud, use an anchor suitable for the wall material and the load it will support. Hold the empty assembled mount against the wall in its intended orientation. Use a level to align the mounting points, while keeping any intentionally angled tray at its designed angle. Mark every required wall-mounting hole for each bracket. Ask someone to support the assembly if it is awkward to hold while marking. Set the mount aside before preparing the wall.
Prepare the wall for screws and anchors
Check that the screws and anchors you plan to use are appropriate for the wall and the completed display. Follow the screw or anchor manufacturer’s instructions for hole size, drilling depth, anchor installation, and screw compatibility. If anchors are required, prepare the marked holes and fit the anchors as directed. For screws going into a stud, prepare any pilot holes required by the screw manufacturer. Check for concealed wiring or pipes before drilling. Keep the mounting-hole locations aligned with the marks you made from the assembled mount. If an anchor spins, a hole is damaged, or a screw or anchor will not hold securely, correct the problem before attaching the mount. Do not rely on tightening harder to repair a loose screw or anchor.
Secure the assembled mount to the wall
Support the empty mount and align each bracket’s wall-mounting holes with the prepared positions. Insert the appropriate wall-mounting screws and start them before fully tightening any one screw. Use all wall-mounting holes required for the supplied brackets. Check the assembly’s alignment, then tighten the wall screws gradually until the brackets are held securely against the wall. Keep the mount supported while tightening. Avoid overtightening or forcing the printed brackets to bend against an uneven surface. Gently check the empty mount for rocking or movement, and check that the tray-to-bracket M3 connections remain secure. Do not pull on the tray or hang extra weight from it as a test. If a bracket moves, a wall screw or anchor loosens, or the tray does not sit as intended, stop and resolve the issue before placing your set.
Place the set and check the display
Support both ends of the black base as you lower it onto the tray, with the plaque facing out. Keep the raised podracers and rock arch clear of the wall. Check that the base sits flat along the length of the tray. Release your hands gradually. If the model rocks or the tray shifts, remove the model and check the fit and fasteners. Lift from the supported base again when removing it.
