Stage 12

Your parts:- Front and rear cylinder plates, cylinder covers and screws.

Take the rear cylinder plate and screw two screws into the holes at the rounded ends, make sure the screw heads are on the inside surface of the plate. Next take the cylinder covers and glue them in place on the plate making sure to line up the holes in the covers with the two screws, Make sure you do not get glue on the threads of the screws. When the glue is dry remove the two screws from the rear of the plate.

Now take the two front cylinder plates slide one into its slot and fix in place using two 2 x 3 mm screws, do the same with the other front plate. Note that if the plates do not slide into there slots loosening the screws, then sliding in the plate and re-tighten any loose screws will cure the problem.

Stage 15

Your parts:- Cylinder sides, valves, hatches, covers, drainage pipes and screws.

Take a cylinder side plate and then line up and glue an inspection cover to both parts you will see the position already marked to aid placement. Next take the hole covers and valve wheels and position them in place on the covers. Hold the parts in place and turn the plate over then apply glue to the studs making sure the end screw holes are free from excess glue.

Once the parts are dry take the left side plate and line it up with the screw holes on the left side cylinder plates, using fourteen 2 x 2 mm screws fix the plate in position. The best way to do this is to add all the screws at the front but only loosely fitted then turn the assembly upside down and fit the last two screws at the base, tighten these first and then do the final tightening of the screws on the cylinder side. Fix the right plate in the same way.

After the side plates have been fitted turn the assembly over and glue the two drainage pipes in position.

Save any unused parts in a bag labeled with the stage number for future use.
