4. Start with front of layout and assemble Profile Boards with Connectors as shown
(Fig. 25, 26
and
27)
. The ends of each
side assembly are 1/2" from corners of Base and interlock with the Profile Board of the adjoining side.
NOTE:
The 1/2" is
critical for alignment of all sides with the Base. Trim, if necessary.
5. Align smooth side of Profile Boards with outside edge of Base and pin in place with Foam Nails.
6. Assemble the remaining three sides in the same manner.
7. Glue Connectors to Profile Boards and Profile Boards to Base. Apply Low Temp Foam Glue along seams on interior
of layout. When glue is set, remove Foam Nails.
8. On Profile Board L3, draw a contour line between Profile Boards L4 and L5
(
see
Fig. 27)
.
9. Touch up terrain contours so they are continuous and trim any Connectors that extend above layout sides.
10. Cut six 1" x 2" pieces of Profile Board and glue one to each side of Access Panel openings on inside of layout
(Fig. 29
and
30)
. These will act as stops for Access Panels. Reinsert Access Panels flush with Profile Board.
