General Assembly Instructions
TOOLS • Sharp scissors.
NEEDED • Paper-cutting knife (recommended: X-Acto knife with a #11 blade).
• Sturdy tweezers with smooth edges. (Tweezers with rough edges or teeth
will mar the surface of the pieces.)
• Metal ruler to make a straight cut or score.
e
glu • Toothpicks for reaching into tiny corners and spreading drops of glue.
• White glue and glue stick.
• Cutting surface (recommended: a cutting mat).
• Dry pen (no ink) or blunt knife for scoring.

• Print pages 9 to 11 on White Card Stock paper (sometimes called Cover Paper or
Bristol), 160 grammes (recommended) or 190-200 grammes (110 lbs), preferably non
glossy but with a mat finish.

Cutting
Usually, a piece for a card stock model is cut out in two stages.
First, the piece is separated from the rest of the pieces by cutting roughly around it with scissors.
Don’t cut along the lines at this step.
Once the piece is separated, you can work on it without damaging other pieces. It’s best to do
the scoring and folding before proceeding to the fine cutting.
Work on one piece at a time:
• Score along the dotted lines.
• Cut along the solid lines.
• Fold along the dotted lines, but don’t add glue to any pieces yet.

VERY IMPORTANT: Try out the pieces to be glued before applying the glue. This will
help you understand how the pieces fit together, and you will be able to take note of
any adjustments that might be needed. Then apply a small amount of glue on the tab
indicated by a black dot.

Scoring
There are two kinds of folds:

Follow the steps for assembling described in the following pages. Some parts
may seem to be complex, but none are complicated to assemble. Simply create
one part at a time while following the order of assembly, and always try out the
pieces first without glue to understand how they fit together.

Look at the final photos and the different illustrations, and with patience you will
be able to create a great model.

Use a toothpick to apply a small drop of glue and a tweezer to hold the small
pieces. There are a few tips added to the instructions to help you along the way.

An important key for a well-assembled model is to score neatly every piece along
the dotted line, then to prefold everything before gluing.

• Be careful when using scissors or a paper cutting knife.


• Glue, scissors, and other tools may be dangerous, so be
sure to keep them out of the reach of young children.

And remember,
there is no hurry.

TIME!

Heroes of Faith – Moses


Hebrew 11 tells us: It was faith that made the parents of Moses
hide him from the Egyptians after he was born because there
was an order to kill every male baby the Hebrew women gave
birth to.

After baby Moses was found by Pharaoh’s daughter, he was


raised in the Egyptian palace. But later as an adult, it was faith
that caused him to change and prefer suffering with God’s
people, deciding that it was worth far more than all the treasures
of Egypt because he set his eyes on the future reward.

Later it was faith that made Moses leave Egypt while not fearing
pharaoh’s anger; it was as though he saw the invisible God and
he refused to turn back.

It was by faith that he led his people to cross the Red Sea as if
on dry land; and, by this act of faith, they escaped the wrath of
the Egyptian and he saved the Hebrew people from bondage.

Paraphrased from Hebrew 11:23-29. The story of Moses begins


in the book of Exodus.
