The C and L braces are cut out.
Note the pencil mark along the top. That's to fit the short end of the antenna top bend.
Cut the interior curves first, then the straight lines connecting them with a straightedge and sharp blade.
The backings are peeled off and stuck to 110 lb. card stock. The pieces that are curved into a circle are two layer and don't have a thick cereal box board center.
Cut the centers out first, then the outside curve. This picture shows the Minor Shroud that ends up on the bottom of the model.
The main shroud is also peeled and stuck to 110 lb. card stock, again two-layer.
Use white glue on the tab! It will dry clear. Wood glues dry yellow. You'll want your saucer to have a clean, white surfaces.
Finally the two piece "Core Tube Halves" are glued into a circle with the print to the inside. The picture shows the core flipped. In the end, those light green dots should end up down towards the bottom of the model.
