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.
