Tips for Building Your Western Town
Print the PDF in color on heavier paper, such as 60-pound stock. Roughly cut around each piece first, then trim carefully along the solid black lines. Fold along the dashed lines.
To make folds cleaner, use a straight edge and an empty ballpoint pen to score the dashed lines lightly. A little glue holds the pieces together; hot glue sets quickly, but requires care. Mount completed buildings on foam-core board for a sturdy base.
The models are HO scale. Use adult supervision with cutting tools or hot glue, and check your printer’s paper-weight limits before printing.
