Akagi: Step by Step

Position the motor assembly as shown, to test-fit, joining the two
gears together and placing it at a right angle to the drums. Glue
into place.
Print this page if you haven’t already. Cut out this diagram.
As illustrated in the photo, take the thread and follow the red line,
positioning it around the two pulleys. Glue it into place at the
point where the elevator floor meets the wall.
Position the cut-out from Step 13 at the base of the bow elevator.
Use a pin to mark the center point of each of the crosses and the
line running from bow to stern on the floor of the elevator. Then
remove the paper and glue a pulley to each mark that you made
with the pin.
Glue the two drums in place, aligning them along the line in the
center of the bow elevator, the drum with the gear and ring being
glued to the stern side and the one without them to the bow side.
Make sure that none of the thread gets stuck under the drums.
Use the red lines as a guide to the positions of the remaining
lengths of thread. Glue them all to the points where the elevator
floor meets the wall.
Glue gear (b), followed by the ring, onto the end of one of the
drums as shown. Once dry, file so that they are all aligned.
