a realistic three-dimensional shape (you may want to break
off some branches to vary tree, or even break tree in half to make two
smaller ones.)
4. Brush or spray paint trunks with any flat lacquer or enamel paint. Most
trees are gray with only hints of brown.
5. If desired for more realism a second lighter or darker color can be
applied, using a dry brush or wash technique (we prefer a latex or water
base paint.)
NOTE: When handling foliage some leaves will fall off.
Work on a clean bench so you can save leaves for later.
6. There are two pieces of green foliage
material in the kit (dark green and medium
green).
cut 2 pieces in half = 4 pieces
cut 4 pieces in half = 8 pieces
cut 8 pieces in half = 16 pieces
cut 16 pieces in half = 32 pieces
7. If the 32 pieces vary in size, use the 16
largest pieces to make the following stacks
of foliage: two stacks of three pieces, three
stacks of two pieces and four stacks of one
piece.
Then place the two largest tree trunks on the two stacks with three
pieces, the four smallest tree trunks on the stacks with on piece and the
three remaining trees on the stacks with two pieces, Each stack of foliage
should be the amount required for the tree trunk laying on the stack.

NOTE: The trees are different sizes. It is impossible to exactly measure
the correct amount of foliage for any given tree, however the above
stacks will be very close.
IMPORTANT: You can see through most real
trees. See photo of finished tree.
8. Select one stack of three pieces of foliage and S-T-R-E-T-C-H foliage
pieces to about twice their present volume. Make foliage more see-
through and three-dimensional in quality. S-T-R-E-T-C-H until they pull
completely apart. The number of pieces you have is no longer important:
the volume of see-through foliage is.
SHELTER HOUSE CONSTRUCTION
(Read all instructions before beginning)
1. Black paper in kit is for roofing. Cut off
ends of paper as indicated in drawing.
You will be left with 5/16" wide roofing
strips.
2. Using straight edge and sharp X-acto
or single edge razor blade, carefully cut
out roof panels from printed card stock.
Also cut out the two concrete pads from
white card stock and set aside for
painting later.
3. On one roof panel, align edge of a
roofing strip with the line above the
number one, so each end of roof strip
overlaps edges of roof panel. Secure with
white glue.
4. Align the second roofing strip with line above the number two. It should
overlap the first roofing strip about 1/16" and overlap edges of roof panel.
5. Align third roofing strip with line above number 3 in overlapping position
and glue.
6. Align fourth roofing strip with line above number 4 in overlapping
position and glue.
7. Align fifth roofing strip with line above number 5 in overlapping position
and glue.
8. Place roof panel under a weight to avoid warping while glue dries. When
dry, trim overhanging roof strips flush with roof panel.
9. Repeat steps 3 thru 8 with other roof panel.

10. Tape truss and post template to a flat surface. Cut 3/64" x 3/64"
basswood strips to lengths indicated on template. Glue strips together,
taping to template to hold in place while glue dries. Use the same
procedure to build a swing set post.
11. Make two more truss and post assemblies, and one more swing set post,
using same procedure as in step 10.
12. Fold a roofing strip for roof ridge in half the long way as indicated in
exploded view. This is easier if you lightly score strip at fold point before
folding, or if you fold over a sharp corner.
13. Glue shelter house together as indicated in exploded view.
NOTE: Assembly will be
easier if you align the two
roof panel edges with white
card stock showing and
apply a strip of masking
tape to underside of panels
along seam, forming a
permanent hinge.

14. Paint, or stain, shelter
house and allow to dry. We
prefer a flat paint and
used Floquil Roof Brown on
basswood an roof edge,
leaving roofing the black
paper color. More about
weathering later.
10. Select the largest bent and painted tree and arrange the stretched foliage
on the tree, retaining the see-through quality of the foliage. Re-arrange
until you are satisfied (see tree photo). You can use a small amount of
foliage from batch set aside in step 7, but do this only

if absolutely necessary.
11. Spray foliage with clear spray (hair-spray, lacquer or varnish) to set.

MEMORIAL PARK S132

This kit is probably different than any you have previously
constructed. It is not simply a model of a single item, but a
model of a Complete Scene. The kit includes the most realistic
landscaping materials and techniques available today, and all of
the miscellaneous small items that add so much to realism.

We recommend following the instructions and hope
they will help you develop techniques that will be valid to
you elsewhere. The most ignored instruction is probably
Read entire instructions before beginning. We have divided
instructions into separate sections to make this easier.

We are not suggesting that the only correct way to build
this scene is the way we did it. We recommend doing creative
modifications (especially in painting and final assembly steps),
because it personalizes your efforts and is more rewarding. A
thorough understanding of our instructions may help you with
your modifications.

Should you find any defective parts in this kit simply
return them to WOODLAND SCENICS for replacement.

FENCE CONSTRUCTION
(Read entire instruction before beginning)
1. Using one of the 1/32" thick basswood pieces
that is cut into 1/16" strips, cut off ends (Fig. 1).
Use straight edge and X-acto or single edge
razor blade. Carefully cut at end of scores using
several light strokes per cut.
2. The 1/32" x 1/16" x 2" pieces will fall apart, if
some dont roll them between your fingers until
they do.
3. Tape plan view sheet (with fence templates
printed on it) to flat surface.
4. Carefully align 1/32" x 1/16" x 2" pieces of fence
rail on one fence template (be certain to stagger
joints as indicated on template.) Tape in
position on template, do not allow tape to cover
posts on template.
5. Using 3/64" x 3/64" basswood strips, cut posts to length indicated on
template.
6. Align fence posts as indicated on template and glue to railings at railing
joints. Allow to dry.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for other four fence sections.
8. When dry, carefully remove tape. Paint or stain fence the desired color.
You may choose to leave fence natural (we used a very thin, dark stain).

Truss and post assembly PREPARATION OF CASTINGS
(Read all instructions before beginning)
1. All castings are metal and may have some flash and sprues, remove
and clean up to suit.
2. Gently wash castings in soapy water.
3. Paint all castings the desired colors. We recommend flat lacquer (and
prefer Floquil) as a primer base coat, because it adheres well and
accepts most other paints. We used the following color scheme:
STONE BAR B-Q OVENS AND
MEMORIAL PARK SIGN: basecoat of
light gray (Floquil Concrete). Dry

brush with mustard color (water base).
Wet wash with dark water base paint
allowing paint to run into joints wiping

off high spots of stone while paint is still
wet. Leave cap on sign wall and smooth
area around letters, light gray.
TRASH CANS: flat black in grooves,
wipe off high spots
PICNIC TABLES: Some redwood color
and some dark green. Picnic basket tan
and miscellaneous bright colors for

plates, bottles and food.
FIREWOOD STACK: gray brown bark
highlighted with lighter and darker
shades. Tan ends on logs.
4. Using white glue, assemble teeter totter as indicated in drawing.
5. Using white glue, assemble cannon as indicated in drawing.
6. Use 3/64" x 3/64" basswood strip, two tire castings, thread and two swing
set posts previously assembled, to assemble swing set as indicated in
drawing. Secure with white glue.
NOTE: the 7/8"x3


1/2" x 1/32" scored
basswood sheet
is for picnic table
seats and tops.
However one table


top will be the casting with


picnic basket, plates, etc.
7. Cut two strips, that are each


two boards wide,

from the scored

basswood sheet,
(cut in score with a
sharp X-acto or
single edge razor
blade). Use these
two strips, two
table leg
castings, and the
cast picnic table
to assemble a picnic


table as shown in drawing. Secure with
white glue.
8. Cut 12 table seats (two boards wide)
and six table tops (six boards wide)
from basswood sheet and assemble
the remaining six picnic tables as in
step 7.
