1.  For best results print directly onto a thin sheet of card. Alternatively, print the net onto paper and then glue onto a thin sheet of card. To construct the signal box a knife, a rule, a cutting board and glue will be required. At all times craft knives should be used by/under the guidance of a responsible adult.

 

2.  Score lightly along all lines marked, with a grey dotted line and the folding red arrow.

3.  Having cut out the main body, fold and glue the main tab at the right inside the front of the signal box to form a rectangle. Fold the tabs at the four corners up and glue them on the inside of the corresponding wall to add strength to the structure

4.  Stand the signal box up and glue in the top tabs that run along the length of the building so that they align with the gables on the side wall.

 

Fold in the tabs at the top of the side walls to 90°

 

5.  Cut out the roof and glue onto the roof tabs. Fold down the green guttering so it is in line with the front and rear of the signal box and stands proud from it

6.  Cut rectangles around the gables and fold and glue them over. The gables can then be cut out so they are green on both sides.  Affix the gables to the Signal Box.

    

 

7.  Cut out the chimney and glue the tabs together forming the chimney. Cut out the chimney stack and roll it into a cylinder. The chimney top in green should be cut out then folded in half.  Assemble the chimney then affix to the roof above the chimney seen through the front windows.

 

8.  Next, the stairs should be cut out. Fold up the tabs on either side of the door, fold up the door and affix the tabs out side of the stair fencing. Sandwich the tabs with the outer side of the stair fencing and fold over and glue the underside of the stairs. Glue the door at the top of the stairs to the doorway marked stairs on the left-hand side of the Signal box.

9.  Finally, to finish off the Signal Box, run an appropriately coloured felt tip or paint along the corners and sides where the white card shows.
