The leg braces are die-cut from thinner card stock.
There are some hold-down ticks that have to be cut through. Light sanding with 400 grit removed them.
These could have been glued on earlier but would have needed some involved masking to paint orange.
Paint the orange off the model, save time and get clean color separations.
On the left, the leg braces are stuck down on tape to be sprayed orange.
On the right the braces are flipped over (orange side underneath) and sprayed with Scotch 77 spray adhesive.
The leg braces were pressed in place, the 77 adhesive is plenty strong for this application.
The height of the legs weren't as tall as the face card picture shows. The bottom diagonal edge should have overlapped over and covered the dowel. That's okay, setting the low end on the dowel joint looks like it was meant to be this way.
The only brush paint was the silver on the foot pads.
