INTRODUCTION
Please read these step-by-step instruc Ɵ ons thoroughly before you undertake any cu ƫ ng or assembly
. Then follow the simple step-by-step instruc Ɵ ons. This
build kit is an intermediate skill-level kit in our Photo Real Building Kits product line. Assembly Ɵ me is approximately 2-3 hours. With just a li Ʃů e pa Ɵ ence and
the right tools, this amazing kit can be constructed by any hobbyist, o ī ering a more realis Ɵ c-looking model than painted plas Ɵ c forms. Printed on our
exclusive high-de Į ni ƟŽ n ‘Flex Stock’ material, these kits once assembled are very rugged and will provide many years of enjoyment on your train layout, slot
car track, or diorama.
A
Ō er you’ve read through the assembly instruc ƟŽ ns once, start again at the beginning and follow the steps carefully to cut and assemble the model. We
strongly recommend using a hot-melt mini-glue gun for assembling this kit. (Mini-glue guns are available at your local cra Ō store, as well as many hardware
stores and drug stores, for less than $5.00.) Hot melt glue is easily controlled and sets-up fast, which greatly speeds-up the assembly Ɵ me since you don’t
need to wait for the glue to dry. Us Ğ hot-m Ğ lt glu Ğ sparingly : apply an amount just su ĸ cient to tack the items together. You can reinforce the bond surfaces
with a Į nal bead of hot glue – or with white glue – once you are sa Ɵ s Į ed with placement of component pieces.
These instruc Ɵ ons include plenty of clear, full-color photographs to make assembly easier. As with all model assembly, some pa Ɵ ence is required. The skills
acquired in construc ƟŶ g your Į rst building kit will carry over to our other kits, which will make it easy for you to add as many buildings to your layout as you
desire – saving you Ɵ me and money and giving you be Ʃ er results than for most molded plas Ɵ c kits. Enjoy the most innova Ɵ ve and realis Ɵ c scale-model
building kits available.
GETTING STARTED
IMPORTANT: The most important skill in ge ƫŶŐ a good result is the technique of ‘scoring’ the material where indicated ;ĮŐ͘ 1). Scoring
is simply making a shallow cut though the top layer of the paper with a sharp hobby knife (e.g., an X-acto knife) while using a ruler or
other straight edge.
&ŝŐƵƌĞ 1 - Scoring th Ğ mat Ğƌ ial.
This technique is simple to learn, yet vital to ge ƫ ng a perfect fold – even on small parts! Using this technique helps to ensure a be ĂƵƟĨƵů
trouble-free assembly. Without it, the folded edges tend to buckle unevenly and look bad when assembled.
WƌĂĐƟĐĞ on a scrap piece un Ɵů you have perfected your technique su ĸ ciently to have co ŶĮĚ ence. The hobby knife should be used for
scoring only! When cu ƫ ng out parts completely, use a sharp scissors as this material is tough and does not cut easily with a knife.
Remember to always wear safety glasses when using sharp tools or hot glue guns. Keep all materials away from extreme heat or Ň ames.
Adult supervision is required for those under age 16.
