Please read ALL of these instructions before beginning.

     This is a model of a generic cartoon rocket, dubbed "Retro-Rocket." The model is intended to print at 7.5 inches by 10 inches (190.5mm x 254mm), so it should print correctly on US Letter or A4 size sheets of 90 lb (165 gram per square meter) index card by centering the image on the page, preserving the aspect ratio, and setting the image width to 7.5 inches (190.5 mm).

     The finished model is about 2.5 inches (64 mm) tall.

	Carefully score all tabs *except* the single tab at one end of each curved part 1 through 9. Assembly is done with the printed sides of all parts facing out.

1.	Form part 1 into a shroud and glue. Glue part 2 inside part 1.

2.	Form part 3 into a shroud. Align the seams and glue assembly 1+2 inside part 3.

3.	Form part 4 into a shroud. Align the seams and dashed lines and glue assembly 1+2+3 inside part 4. Set this assmbly aside.

4.	Form part 5 into a cone. (If you wish to hang your model, form the cone around a loop of thread or light cord and glue the knot inside the cone. If you do not wish to hang your model, just go to the next step.)

5.	Form part 6 into a shroud. Align the seams and glue part 5 inside part 6.

6.	Form part 7 into a shroud. Align the seams and glue assembly 5+6 inside part 7.

7.	Form part 8 into a shroud. Align the seams and cutouts and glue assembly 5+6+7 inside part 8.

8.	Form part 9 into a shroud. Align the seams and glue assembly 5+6+7+8 inside part 9.

9.	Glue each part 10a to a matching part 10b, back to back. 

	** OPTION: Choose whether your rocket will have three or four fins (assembly 10a+10b). When attaching the fins, space them evenly around the hull. **

10.	Glue each assembly 10a+10b to assembly 1+2+3+4 on parts 1 and 3, or on parts 3 and 4, whichever you prefer.
 
11.	Align the seams and portholes and glue assembly 5+6+7+8+9 onto assembly 1+2+3+4.
