Model RR Structure Solutions

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

  • Read through the instructions provided and be sure you understand and can complete them. If you have questions, email me right now at:

reg@scale-modelers-handbook.com.

  • Assembly will probably take twice as long as you think it will. You can probably speed it up but it will look better if you are slow and deliberate.

SUPPLIES YOU WILL NEED:

  • Sheets of 1/16th-inch Balsa 3 to 4 inches in width. You can also use 3/16ths matt board. This is to provide your building with stability.
  • Print on 50-60 pound bond. Tri-foldbrochure paper works well.
  • A sturdy ruler marked off in the appropriate scale feet.
  • Craft knife the break-away blade style works better as you always have a sharp blade at the ready.
  • Spray adhesive four mounting paper building components on the support backing.
  • PVA glue (white or woodworking).Use it sparingly and apply it with a toothpick, not directly from the bottle.
  • Colored pencils for masking stark white paper edges and also for weathering detail.

NOTES:

  • Stay organized. And proceed step by step.
  • You may wish to print a second copy of major wall components to allow trimming out doors and windows for 3-D representation.
  • Keep everything at the same scale, i.e, print at 100% or at 'shrink to fit' or the parts won't go together correctly.
  • Cut all major components from the sheet first and the sheet, spray glue them and apply to support stock.Cut into proper sizes and mark reverse with part name or number.
  • Cut inside any black lines that indicate a gable or slopping roof.
  • Have fun with the model, don’t be afraid to kitbash or re-size for your particular requirements. In the worst case you will need to reprint and start over again.
