5. Mount a large arm and a small arm to each cradle base
with a 6-32 screw, a washer and the blind nut.
6. Optional: If you prefer the arms to remain level (without
the ability to tilt), glue the remaining two guide sticks to
the cradle bases even with the arms—be certain not to
inadvertently get any glue on the arms.
7. Cut the foam cushion tubing into six 3-1/2" [90mm]
pieces. Slit each one all the way down.
8. Glue one tube to each of the four vertical arms. Fit the
remaining two tubes over the horizontal portions of the
arms, but do not glue these tubes on. Note: If using your
cradle for a large model and spreading the arms wide,
longer pieces of horizontal tubing may be used. These will
have to be purchased separately.
Set the cradles aside while assembling
the cross bars and drawer.
9. Working over your workbench protected with a sheet of
clear sandwich wrap, a plastic bag or Top Flite ® MonoKote ®
backing (so glue won’t stick), assemble the “box” that will
contain the drawer. Glue the parts together. For now, don’t
build up large fi llets of glue–use just enough glue to hold
the parts together for handling during assembly. Later, more
glue may be added for reinforcement. Also, don’t worry
about getting the assembly perfectly “square.” Everything
will true up when you join the box to the cross bars.
