Now slowly bend the Bottom Wall Panel about 45 degrees.
The RED arrow points to the cut we made in step 090.

See how the cut helps with the fold? If you tried
to bend the cardboard without a cut it would bend
all crooked and not in a perfect straight line.

Having the final design in ONE piece as opposed to
the 2 when I started out really works out great. A
step less for you and no connections between the 2
pieces, so a much cleaner design.

Now get out all your Main Wall Panels and trim the
edges so to not waste too much Foamcore when cutting.

Here is what one of my Foamcore pieces looked like
after I glued all my Decals to the surface.
DO NOT USE CARDBOARD for this step. You want the
thickness of the Foamcore to assure a strong wall.

Because of the Angled cuts, this step can seem and
does indeed take forever. 9 Hours for me to cut all
the pieces . Whatever you do, TAKE YOUR TIME. You
don't want rough edges or ripped angles.

Now we need to cut all the Bottom Side pieces. These
are 2cm Wide and 4.5cm Long. We need 2 for each Wall
Unit.
|
|
 |
|
|

Use your Hot Glue Gun and attach one rectangle (097)
to each side of the Wall Panel Base.
The size should allign just right with the edge grooves
of the Main Walls.
|

Now cut all your 8cm X 2cm strips. These will be
the Upper Sides of the Wall Units.
|
|
 |
|
|

Now cut all your pieces at an angle starting 6cm
from the base. For detailed instruction on this portion
you can go to Page 07 and start at Picture 063 to
070.
Use a NEW sharp blade after every 10 or so cuts.
Foamcore DULLS blades FAST. You want the cleanest
possible cuts for these side walls.

The Exposed Foamcore sides will be facing front so
now is a good time to paint all the pieces before
applying the side decals.

Joy Joy, it's time for another repetitive and tedious
step. LOL. Peel back or use your Gluestick to attach
all the Side Wall Decals to the Foamcore pieces.
Make sure you apply on the correct side. The one
you cut at an angle. NOT the straight flat side.
|
|
 |
|
October 17, 2004
Now attach your Side Walls using your Hot Glue Gun.
Make sure to allign the pieces flush with the TOP
of the Wall Unit.
For more details on attaching these pieces go to
Page 08 Photos 071 to 074.

BEFORE you glue the Top Front Panels to the unit,
we want to get rid of this ugly cardboard look.
The YELLOW arrows point to where you want to draw
over with a thick black marker similar to Photo 051
on Page 06.

Once done, your cardboard edges will look like this...much
improved don't you agree?
