What You’ll Need
Materials:
•
Card stock: 110lb is best but photo quality cover stock works quite well (and is what I
use).
•
Glue (white glue, glue stick, and rubber cement or spray adhesive). Just about every hobbyist has a glue preference bordering on religious zealotry. Mine is Elmer’s Craft Bond
Tacky Glue for everything except laminating large surfaces, which calls for an Elmer’s dry
glue stick or Elmer’s No Wrinkle Dual Tip Glue Pen.
•
Liquid refreshment.

Tools:
•
Scissors. NOTE: most of the cuts can be made with scissors. Scissors are faster and somewhat safer than hobby knives, as old scars on my hands testify. Most professionals prescribe hobby knives, but parents (and we not-so-dextrous adults) have to clean the blood
and mend the accidental cuts. Or . . .
•
Hobby knife. Indispensable for precise cutting and some compound curves. HOWEVER,
if you’re going to use a hobby knife, consider the Olfa knife available at many DIY stores,
as it is substantially superior to ordinary hobby knives.
•
Scriber for creasing fold lines. A dry fine point pen works quite well for this purpose.
•
Straight edge (preferably a metal ruler). Flip it over so the cork pad is topside.
•
Tweezers for folding small parts or using as a vise.
•
Inexpensive paint brushes and tooth picks to apply the glue and a margarine tub of water to
clean your brushes. (The lid serves as a palette for the glue—some modelers recommend
using a pad of Post-Its as a palette.)
•
Permanent marker for edges and corners. Black will generally suffice, but you should invest in a set of multiple colors.
NOTE: Score, cut, and fold all pieces before assembly.

ASSEMBLING THE BASIC CUBES
Choose four wall segments,
glue together into a hollow
box.

The cubes
fold flat for
storage.
Sa
With over forty panels and
three roof textures, there
are over six million
combinations.
For the top of a tower, leaving
the vertical tabs off is an option
unless you’re adding a rampart.
For the roof, fold the roof sides down
and glue.
Glue a vertical tab to each corner.
Stack cubes using the vertical tabs.
See next page.

NOTE: for the very top of a stack of cubes, omit the
vertical tabs for a smooth roof. Use a roof with vertical tabs for ramparts.

Once you’ve glued the vertical
tabs to the roof corners, simply slip the roof over the cube.
Tap gently to make sure it’s
properly seated.

Stack cubes to form tall buildings. The
cube sides may bow in. Gently use your
fingers to bow them slightly outward.

ASSEMBLING THE RAMPARTS
NOTE: Use the optional tabs on the rampart walls to glue them to a rampart floor for a
more permanent installation. Otherwise, trim away the optional tabs for a collapsible
rampart.
Fold each rampart wall over and glue (a dry glue is
best for this).

Glue the wall segments together. Insert
inside the vertical tabs of a roof segment.
NOTE: for the ramparts that are an open railing,
do the cut outs between steps 1 and 2.

ASSEMBLING THE STAIRS
Choose the appropriate landing
sides, fold over and glue, then
glue to the stairs.
NOTE: The tab on the landing
goes on the roof of a cube.

Decide on the orientation
of the stairs to the cube
and glue the landing to
ONE of the stair sides,
orienting as desired.

Glue the landing and stair
steps to the other stair

and work down. Be sure
the stairs are level.

Fold the edges of the stair steps, then,
beginning with the top stair, begin gluing
to the same stair side you used for the
landing. Use the panel lines as a guideline for gluing.

works best).
