Carded Satellite Interceptor Build Part 2 Fin Lamination

In my carded downscales, I draw both sides of the fins joined at the leading edge like a butterfly wing. The leading edge is creased, folded and glued over the card stock center.
In this "kit", Mr. Harrington has the fin sides as two separate pieces.
Enlarge the picture to see how the sides were cut.
In this case, the trailing edges and root edges were cut on the faint gray lines. The other sides were cut outside the lines and will be cut down after gluing the lamination.


In the picture to the right, the fin side hasn't been glued down yet.
(It'll be glued and slid into the corner of the card stock.)

The cardboard has been cut to a 90 degree angle, the same as the root and trailing edges of the fin overlay.



The back of one side of the printed fin gets a light, smooth coat of white glue. The fin is lightly pressed into position on the cardboard.
To be sure the back edges were even, both edges (cardboard and card stock print) were pressed down on a table top.
