is too snug, you can pinch the box co ne s to collapse the sides of the box inwa d
slightly. You now have a hidden sto age compa tment.
LANDSCAPE ASSEMBLY:
If you wish you can call you model complete at this point, but it’s much mo e
imp essive when it sits on its own ‘p ope ty’. To build the landscaping, begin by
cutting out the LEFT LAWN on Page 15 and the RIGHT LAWN on Page 16. Cut
along the two white lines on each piece to sepa ate the tabs with g een dots. The

Cut out the RIGHT FENCE on Page 17 and assemble it in the same way as we did
the LEFT FENCE. Glue the RIGHT FENCE to the g ay panel on the ight side of
the lawn.
Now cut out the BACK FENCE on Page 18. Fold DOWNWARD along the blue line
between the two fence panels (but don’t glue them togethe yet). Once again, the
outside panel is the one with b ick along the bottom and the inside panel is the one
without b ick at the bottom. Fold the two sides togethe and put glue on the
unp inted ectangle below the inside panel. Then UNFOLD the piece and glue the
outside panel to the back of the lawn as shown in Figu e 27. The b ick tabs on the
LEFT FENCE and RIGHT FENCE should be glued to the unp inted side of the
outside panel. Fold the inside panel down ove the tabs and glue the inside panel
to the outside panel, as shown in Figu e 28.
To complete the fence, cut out the FRONT FENCE on Page 18 and fold
DOWNWARD along the blue lines between the fence panels (but don’t glue the
fence panels togethe yet). Cut along the ed line to sepa ate the two gates and
then cut along the ed line at the bottom of the gates to sepa ate them f om the
b ick. Fold the gates DOWNWARD. Cut out the two INSIDE GATE PANELS on
Page 18 and glue them to the unp inted sides of the gates. T im if needed.
Now fold the fence panels togethe and place glue on the unp inted a ea below the
inside fence panels. UNFOLD the piece and glue it to the g ay a ea on the f ont of
the lawn. Fold the inside fence panels down ove the tabs and glue the fence
panels togethe . The f ont fence should now esemble Figu e 29, with the gates
swung inwa d slightly.
You may now add the house to the lawn by placing it ove the sto age box. Again,

Remove the LAMP POST f om Page 15 by cutting a ound the outside black lines.
Fold DOWNWARD along the blue cente line and then fold UPWARD along both
g een lines. Glue the two lamp panels togethe , but don’t glue the bottom panels
(with the da k ectangles) togethe . The piece should now esemble Figu e 30.
Fold the bottom panels togethe and cut away the white a eas a ound the lamp
post. T im if needed and da ken the edges with a black ma ke if you wish. Then
sp ead the two bottom ectangles back out and use them to attach the lamp post to
the lawn. The e’s a small squa e stone just to the left of the sidewalk, position the
lamp post ove this stone and glue in place as shown in Figu e 31.
The t ees a e completely optional. If you wish to add them, they can be glued to
the inside o outside of eithe the f ont o back fence. They can also stand
anywhe e in the ya d by using the TREE STANDS on Page 22. I ecommend using
the talle t ees in back and the sho te t ees in f ont.
To assemble each t ee: emove the t ee f om its page by cutting along the oute
black lines. Fold DOWNWARD along the blue cente line and glue the two panels
togethe . Cut away the white a ea a ound the t ee, t im as needed and da ken the
edges with a black ma ke if you wish. To help keep the t ee standing up ight,
gently cu ve the t ee a ound a cylind ical object (such as a ound table leg o a
glue stick) to give it a slight cu ve. If the t ee will be standing in the ya d instead of
glued to a fence, cut out a TREE STAND f om Page 22. Fold DOWNWARD along
the blue line between the two t iangula panels. Fold the two b own ectangula
panels UPWARD and then fold the two g een panels UPWARD. Glue the two
t iangula panels togethe . The piece should now esemble Figu e 32. Attach the
two b own ectangula panels to the back of the t ee as shown in Figu e 33 and
then use the two g een tabs to glue the t ee anywhe e you wish on the lawn.
And that completes the assembly of this model. Cong atulations!
You’ e now the p oud owne of a ve y haunted house.
