BEFORE YOU BEGIN
1/4” LPLY (PB)
1/8” LPLY (PB)
8d Nail
Completed pinning block,
two required.
Assemble the registration pinning blocks as
shown at the right. These will be used through-
out the assembly to insure proper alignment of
parts.
The nail head must be seated below the surface
of the bottom lamination so the block will sit
flat on the bench. Use CA or Epoxy to secure the
nail in the block.
If your new to building models, you will need a place to work that can be undisturbed until you complete
the build for best results. I recommend using the back side of a drop in 2” x 4” ceiling tile on your work
bench. This material is soft enough to receive the pins but firm enough to hold your parts securely. They
are available at any home store.
I recommend three types of adhesives, Thin and medium cyan o acrylate known as CA or Super Glue,
aliphatic resin also known as carpenters glue such as Elmer’s or Titebond and Epoxy. Do not use thin
CA on plywood parts.
