strongly recommend using a hot-melt mini-glue gun for assembling this kit. (Mini-glue guns are available at your local cra

 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.

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.

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
