Assembly
Begin by carefully cutting each bag from the paper using a sharp knife and steel ruler. Cut two 2 cm lengths from the supplied nylon cord for the handles, then use a scriber to mark the handle holes at the small dots indicated on the design.
Gently score the folding lines with an old knife and steel ruler before pre-folding the bag. Take care not to cut through these lines. Fit the handles through the prepared holes, then fold and glue the top flaps inwards to secure them. Glue the two small bottom-side flaps before closing the bag with the remaining flaps.
Finishing Tips
For cleaner assembly, remove the thick white or black lines between the top and bottom flaps when cutting out the design. After the glue has dried, a small fold can be added to the sides near the top to give the finished bag a more realistic standing shape.
On coloured or black bags, the exposed paper edges can be lightly painted in an appropriate colour after assembly to disguise the white paper edge. Careful cutting, gentle scoring and crisp folds will help bring out the fine printed detail and produce a neat, convincing result for 1/35 model detailing.
