First of all, thank you for purchasing one of our kits and we hope you enjoy building it as much as we did creating it. As always, please send us your feedback and a picture of your completed building on your track.
Quick note before we get started
Always dry assemble a part before applying glue, this way you are confident that the part fits easily and there is no worry that the glue will dry before you have the part fully fitted. Our tolerances are tight, so if you come across a tight lug you’ll need to scrape a sharp craft knife along the top and bottom surfaces of the male lug as this produces a small chamfer to help you guide the part in. Having said that, the parts are generally very accurate and we have left clearances where we can, so in most cases this isn’t necessary.
We also recommend using a super glue GEL, as this helps to hold the pieces in position as they dry and doesn’t get absorbed by the MDF; however most types of glue will work and your personal preference will be fine. Usually a small amount of glue will suffice and hold the part it place
When gluing two parts at right angles to each other use another unused part in the kit as an angle gauge pressed up against both parts. This way you will get them glued squarely to each other.
It is advisable to sometimes use a small piece of tape or pegs to help hold pieces together while drying as a piece that slides even 1mm or 2mm out of place can really effect later steps in the build.
If your wanting to paint this item then you may want to pause at certain steps to paint.
Legs Get Started …..
The frames are the same for all the #126 billboards, so follow these steps
Get these pieces
Put the frame on the edge of the table of on something to make putting the legs on the back easier, you can choose from 4 different height settings.
Now lets add the support beams, you will see 2 indents on the rear of the legs where they go. Face the letter forward of backwards, depending on if you wan them seen and where your billboard is going
Get the feet
Put them on like this
Time to make the car shelf, get these pieces.
Put the shelf on central
There are 3 bars, personally i like to just put the 2 small ones on so you can see the car more, but its your model do as you choose.
The Frame is done, now to the advert, they are all the same you just layer up the parts where they are etched.
Then stick the advert on the frame
This tyre block is good is you want to keep your tyres off the ground
It goes here
You are finished…….
