MODEL BUILDING TIPS
MODEL BUILDING TIPS
This model will require more than one sitting to build it. We advise to pause between different stages as you work, especially when you come to gluing. The white glue softens the paper and it may lead to misshapen parts if you do not allow them to dry well before proceeding further with assembling. Click here to watch our paper model building tips.
Give yourself enough time to enjoy the process and achieve the best result!
