Please note, due to the white tints of the winter/snow models, they do not photograph well enough to pro-
vide clear photos for the instructions. We are therefore depicting identical models, without the snow effects,
for this document to ensure clarity.

on the slope. Apply beads of glue as shown above and
allow to dry. If the bead isn’t tall enough to prevent the
miniatures from slipping, simply apply more glue over
the initial ‘ridge’ (2 or 3 layers will be all it takes.)

plenty to keep the layout bump proof.)

Add a wall section next to your pillar. Use standard 2” bobby-pins or hairpins to lock the
pieces together.

for most of the layout.
