18 WHEELERACA General Instructions
FG CC Startby cutting materials needed using the List of Materials on pages 64 and
65. Pay attention to the rough and finished size, and identity parts as they
are cut.
Please note: Different types of wood can be used for the various parts. It is
suggested, however, that hard wood be used since many of the parts would be
much too fragile if using soft wood. We have used a combination of Maple,
Pine, Oak and exotic woods such as Padauk (dark wood), Yellowheart (light
colour) and Mahogany (dark wood) to give the models a nice contrast!
Ee Parts B1 to B18 are already complete. Parts B19 to B26 will need a few more
steps. See the Parts Drawing section on page 66 for more details.
Parts B27 to B34 require removing the Full-Sized Patterns sheet found on
page 115 of the Appendix. Cut out the patterns, leaving approximately 1Vsc" all
around, and place on the proper piece of wood. Pattems can be secured to
the wood using either spray adhesive or rubber cement. If using the latter, cut
and sand the part first to finished size. If drilling is required, mark the hole by
inserting an awl or nail through the pattern into the wood. Remove the pattern
before drilling
Bee Follow the assembly drawings on pages 68 to 70 to complete your model.
Please note: In order for this model to move properly, itis recommended that
you apply a lubricant to wheel shafts and axle block holes. Lard is the cheapest
and safest option. Itis non-toxic and found in most louseliulds.
