Directions for this first model will follow as soon as we photograph the steps in building. However, if you already have knowledge of paper model building, you should be able to assemble this model without any trouble.

Use a good quality cardstock or coverstock to print out the pieces. When printing the model base pieces and the people on bikes, set your printer at "bleed" and select "Photo quality paper" -- even though you are using cardstock or coverstock. Print the display window glass on clear acetate.

The 2 base sections can be joined from beneath using cellophane (Scotch) tape. Or, you may want to affix the base to a piece of foamcore for added stability.

Images of bikes and people with bikes are also printed in reverse direction for variety. You could also print these on clear acetate to get a 'see-through' effect with the bike wheels.

The best type of glue for assembling this model is permanent stick glue. Liquid glue will cause the building sides and other parts to warp.

NOTE: It is advised that small children do not attempt to make this model, because the use of a sharp X-acto knife is required.

HAVE FUN!
