Centuri Flying Saucer #5325, Part 2, Laminations

The printed side of the cereal box cardboard should be lightly sanded to remove some of the printing and glossiness. This will remove some of the ink so it won't show through the overlay. It also makes for better adhesion of the self adhesive sheets..

The two 110 lb. card stock prints were sprayed with 77 adhesive and stuck down to cereal box cardboard. The cereal box cardboard backs got a sheet of self-adhesive backed paper.

These two ended up as a three layer laminate -
1. TOP: Print on 110 lb card stock,
2. MIDDLE layer of cereal box cardboard,
3. BOTTOM: The lower layer of self adhesive backed paper.
I was trying to build up the thickness to match that from the Centuri kit.


The two prints on the self adhesive backed paper ended up as two layers. The self adhesive prints were stuck onto 110 lb. cardstock.

These two prints ended up as two layers -
1 TOP: Print on self adhesive backed paper
2. BOTTOM: 110 lb. card stock.

The brown engine mount tube got an outside layer of peel and stick paper.
The top was sanded smooth.









A slit was cut for the upper bend in the engine hook.
A engine block was glued in the top against the upper bend of the hook. The hook retainer ring is added later on.
