Guggenheim Model Assembly Instructions
This might appear daunting at first but if you work methodically you will soon have your model assembled. In
the instructions that come with the model I recommend PVA (hobby glue), this is the safest glue to use as any
mistakes you might make can easily be rectified. For this presentation I have used super glue (
cyanoacrylate
), it
was a cloudy day and I had to work fast. If you do choose to use super glue, please be careful.
I will be producing a similar set of instructions using PVA very soon. The principal is similar, you just have the
opportunity to drink more tea while you wait for the PVA to cure. Using super glue I find it easier to assemble
the parts as illustrated then carefully apply the glue to the rear of the joint while making sure it doesn't seap
through the gaps to your fingers.... please be careful.
Spend a bit of time familiarising yourself with the components before you start. The parts should fit together
easily. If any pieces have tabs left on them they can easily be removed using the piece of sandpaper supplied.
I have built this model straight from the box. If you want to make an exceptional model you might want to
lightly sand the dark edges which are a produced during the manufacturing process.
