TAURUS INSTRUCTIONS

FOR LASER-CUT CABIN AND

PILOT HOUSE

The TAURUS kit has been modified to include laser-cut lifts and cabin tops for the main cabin and pilot house. These laser-cut parts replace the solid wood machine carved structures sup- plied in earlier kits.

These instructions apply to assembly of the laser-cut parts. Once assembled, refer back to the Instruction manual for addition of siding, windows, and doors.

MAIN CABIN

Step. 1 - Glue the 1/8" cabin lifts together.

Step. 2 - Shape the top and bottom of the cabin lifts to follow the deck sheer line. The front also needs to be sloped back a bit. This can be done with a sanding block. See Figure 1.

Step. 3 - Glue on the 1/32" cabin top. The cabin top is slightly smaller than the plan to allow for adding the edge molding (see Instruc- tion Manual).

Step. 4 - Return to the Instruction Manual for instructions on installing the windows, doors, and siding.

PILOT HOUSE

Step. 1 - Glue up the three 1/8" lifts with curved front. On top of these glue on two of the 1/32"
