Steampunk Blaster

Preparation You will need:

- Cutting mat or something to protect your table.

- PVA/Wood glue or superglue if you prefer.

- Small file or sand paper.

- Small blade / hobby knife

General Process - Clear plenty of table space, you will need it.

- Parts should remove easily from the board by pressing through and

popping them out. It’s a good idea to cut through the tiny joins first

though, and some parts (particularly smaller, more detailed parts) may

need more carful persuasion.

- Use file or sand paper to remove the small bur caused by the con-

nection to the frame.

- It’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with how the pieces fit to-

gether before gluing.

- Slot the parts together as shown by the pictures below, applying

glue wherever there is a connection. (unless shown otherwise)

- Parts may be a very tight fit, slight trimming or sanding of parts

may be needed for ease of assembly.

It’s recommended that

these parts are

clamped or allowed to

dry under some heavy,

flat weights to ensure

straightness.

Shorter face to bottom

NOTE: No ring on

rear-most face.

Note angle.

Align these slots

carefully.
