Note about this model
This particular model,
Moses and the plagues
of Egypt, is created in
order to portray the 10
plagues that the Egyptians
experienced, described
in the book of Exodus in
chapters 7 through 12.
This is a complement to
the other sets of the life of
Moses.
You can use this model as

dioramas to explain the
different plagues.
See the photo booklet for

ideas on how to set up the
different scenes.
With this set you will find a page with a Hebrew

family, and several pages featuring an Egyptian
family, the father, the mother, their first born son
and a servant.
The Egyptian family is shown several times but
with different expressions and details on their faces
and body: It shows them happy, sad and with boils
over their body, and one with the first son dead
in order to illustrate the different scenes of the
plagues. (See the photo booklet.)
You will also find a page with Moses and Aaron

as they have appeared in earlier sets. Included
with this set is also a similar page, but with
Moses and Aaron looking older with white and
gray hair.
(According to the About the 10th plague: According to the Bible

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 18 to 51 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.
• Print pages 52 to 56 on regular paper.
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:
Score the fold lines to make a crisp straight fold. It’s
Mountain especially important for the smallest pieces to be
fold scored before folding. To score, place a metal ruler
along the fold line, and then press with a dull point (a
dry pen or dull knife) along the fold line to compress

TIPS: To glue the terrain tiles on their support, you can use glue stick, or spray
glue. One thing that works quite well and avoids any warping afterwards, especially
in places with higher humidity or dryness, is to use double-side tape. Simply cover
the surface with a strip of double-side tape and carefully lay your terrain tile.

knife to trim the terrain tile.

Assembling door and window frames
When assembling a wall with a window or a door,
before gluing it together you need to first glue the
door or window frame into place.
Prepare the wall and frame

by scoring and cutting. Do
a pre-fold to prepare the
piece, then glue the frame
to one side of the wall.
Then fold over the other piece of the wall and

glue it to the frame as well. Afterward, glue the
other tabs into position.
Don’t try to glue everything at the same time,

or the glue might dry before you have finished
assembling.
And remember,
there is no hurry.

to keep them out of the

Optional:
Before gluing the
bottom piece, glue
in a small coin to
add weight to the
mini-people.
To form the arms: fold in the middle, glue

together, and when dry, cut around the arm.
Some pieces have extra color

around them, people’s arms for
example. Fold these pieces in
half and glue before cutting, so
that the piece will have texture
on both sides. Simply fold along
the dotted line and apply some
glue, preferably using a glue
stick.
Once the glue on the piece has

dried, cut it out. You don’t have
