Let’s continue the part 2 of this tutorial… (Where to get Balsa Wood? From Beading.com.my)
Instruction for Materials Bag C:
Bag C Step 1 SALVER: Bend Thick Wire C2 into round shape (diameter ~ 3cm), roll Thin Wire C3 on it. Glue it onto the Black Paper and cut off the excess paper to make salver.
The following are a piece of cake: just cucuk and glue !
Bag C Step 2, 3 & 4: Chopstick Canister, Greentea and Souce
Bag C Step 5 & 6 MUSTARD: Stick Green Beads on the White Button. Afterthat, stick all the accessories (step 2 – 5) on the Salver.
Bag C Step 7 WATER PLANT: Again, just cucuk and apply glue (prefer UHU glue).
Instruction for Materials Bag C are the easiest among others.
Instruction for Materials Bag D (Final):
Bag D Step 1 WATERWHEEL: Cut White Paper to 16×0.8cm, bend it to a circle of diameter ~ 4cm, then wrap it with Shallow Yellow Paper Rope.
This is the toughest part of the kit…
Bag D Step 2 & 3 WATERWHEEL: Glue D3-D4 inside the circle. Becareful for this part, you might create an oval shape waterwheel rather than a round one. Do not apply glue first until you are sure to get a round shape. Glue D5 outside the circle, afterthat paint with yellow color water paint.
Bag D Step 4 WATERWHEEL STAND: Oops, forgotten to snap photo for this part because icy finished it within a minute. Very easy to do, just glue and glue…
Bag D Step 5 WOOD SHOE: Smooth Wood D9 according to the diagram, glue it with Wood D11. Bend Red Aluminum Wire D10 into V shape and glue it to make wood shoe as shown in picture top right.
Bag D Step 6 PLANT: Glue the Dried Flowers inside the Wood Pot.
Basically at this stage, all individual miniatures are ready to be assembled onto the frame.
First, stick the Penthouse on top of the back board. Next follow by the two Doors, and the Sidestep.
At this point, you got to pay a little bit attention to the Sidestep. Examine from the side, I noticed that the Sidestep is not parallel to the Floor. Some modification is required to overcome the problem, i.e: cut the B3.
Now, the problem is solved. Just glue everythingelse according to the diagram one by one.
Here is the very final step: apply UHU glue on the floor, then pour the sand provided on top of the glue. Add in some Stones, Flowers, Tree Branches as well.
BINGO~!!!! Phew….the longest post I ever written.
