| For printing out, stronger paper than usually used is required. The specialist speaks of cardboard with 160 gram/square meter. (Usual printer paper has 80 g/sm). This is necessary to give the container some firmness and to keep them in shape. | For fixing he parts together, cyanoacrylate adhesive works best. This adhesive dries very fast for it belongs to to the kind of "second adhesives". But it has the disadventage that it sticks fingers together also. Thus caution is required. Absolutely consider the reffering of the packing/tube! | For cutting out small sharp shears are necessary for small corners must be cut out. Bigger office shears are not suitable. |

To prepare the container for the hard environmental conditions of a model ship, the objects can be covered with clear lacquer spray. For railway use this will not be necessary.
