»Generat Instructions for Assembly«

Follow the assembly sketches carefully step-by-step. The assembly-process progresses generatly in the sequence of numbering.

A. TOOLS_

-    a medium sized pair of scissors and a smali, rounded pair of scissors (to cut curved lines and curved shaped parts)

-    a ruler madę from Steel or a wooden one with Steel edge (to score and cut straight lines)

-    an X-Acto knife or scalpel (for generał cutting purposes)

-    a piece of rounded wood and a set of knitting-needles with different diameters (to form parts in round shape)

-    Glue (The use of UHU-transparent glue is highly recom-mended. WARNING: Never use water-based orso-called sol-vent-free glues.)

-    a pair of tweezers

C. CUTTING_

Before cutting starts it is essential to go through the assembly sketches and search for the parts on the sheets. These sometimes cannot be found in the sequence of the sheets due to technical reasons. The walk-through of the sheets will give also a better understanding of the modeTs concept. It may happen that parts ready assembled will have to be attached to the model at a later step. Ali parts have a number in black colour attached and sometimes may carry a character also. Parts with numbers plus charac-ters mean a special model-detail assembled from several parts. Red numbers indicate places where parts carrying the numbers in black colour have to be located.

To avoid the loss of parts cutted out it may be helpful to right the part's number on its reverse side or to make a photocopy of the certain sheet. If a part cutted out gets lost indeed there's then a possibility to redesign the lost part.

What's essential in addition:

Principalty detailed work on a single part (scoring, cutting out of hatched areas, punching, etc.) must be done before the part is cutted out exactly.

Straight lines are the part's outlines. The have to be cutted exactly in the very centre of the linę. Straight lines within a certain part have graphical illustra-tion purposes.

Hatched areas have to be cutted out or have to be punched out.

-----Dashed lines are folding lines. They have

to be scored on the printed side before the part is cutted out exactly. Af-ter scoring the part has to be folded along this linę to the reverse side (or: BACKWARD). Scoring can be done by the use of a knife or a smali needle. If the use of a knife is preferred, only little pressure is required to avoid any cut-ting-trough. Some test-scoring on spare cardboard may be helpful to achieve the right skill.

-X--X- Dashed-crossed lines are folding lines

also. In opposition to the dashed-dot-ted lines the part has to be folded along the dashed linę to the printed side (or: UPWARD). To achieve this, the dashed lines must be scored from the reverse side of the part. There are some different Solutions to transfer the dashed lines to the reverse side of the part: Hołd the the part's printed side against a win-dowpane or a certain source of light an redraw the lines with a fine-liner pen-cil. Or put a piece of carbon-paper be-neath the part and transfer the linę by slightly scoring with a thin needle. Or mark both ends of dashed lines with a tiny needle-punch, then score on the reverse side from marking to marking.

Dashed-dotted lines form the boundary of an area where other parts have to be attached. Sometimes a red number is located within such areas to indicate the certain part to attach.

An arrow means to cut away a parts along the indicated linę.

This arrow means to make a cut into the part along the indicated linę up to an certain intersection.

Forming rounded parts

Place the exactly cutted part with the printed side onto your open hand. Than move a rounded piece of wood or a needle with con-stant but slight pressure in the direction of the wrist. Soon you will get the right experience to achieve perfect shapes. Practice makes perfect. The exact shape of rounded parts is shown in the assembly sketch.

Round parts with smali diameters may receive supportive scoring to make rounding easier. This is indicated by supporting lines printed outside the part itself and also shown in the assembly sketch.
