FOLD FLAT TERRAIN SCENARIO PACK 1:144 Scale

Pack A

This pack provides images to build a basic Semi-detached House, larger house
with optional extension, Church and industrial building in 1:144 scale.
WARNING The construction of Fold Flat Terrain requires the use of sharp
scissors/knives and solvent-based glues, so are unsuitable for children under 14
and adult supervision is required.
You will need

A4 Coloured card 250 to 300 grm/m2 in Grey for the house and boundary walls, dark red or
brown for house roofs, green for the folds.
12 (300mm) steel rule
Sharp Knife (disposable ones are ideal, but change the blade after a couple of sheets)
Sharp Scissors (optional)
Biro pen preferably empty, but Black is OK.
A surface protected from knifes, glue and Biro scratches. A whole newspaper is ideal.
Solvent-based glue Bostic Clear is ideal. Water based e.g. PVA are unsuitable as they wet the
card and distort it.

Printing
The files are based on 600 dpi resolution and if printed at this resolution should come out at the correct
size.
Painting
Some structures look better painted particularly hills/folds etc. This is best done with spray paints.
This should be done in a well-ventilated area using very thin coats, preferably just misting the surface to
avoid wetting and distorting the structure.
Storage Keep the models in a box file, folded flat and they will last a long time. Some of the authors
have lasted 8 years and are still going.
General Notes on Construction
Outlines - are thicker lines but not by much, too thick makes accuracy difficult. Cut as close to the
centre of the line as possible.
Fold markings meanings are shown below.

Score down the fold with a Biro using the steel rule down the middle of the line. Having folded the
crease, run the end of the ruler over it to get a really sharp crease. Note at 1:144 it is best to score with
a knife those folds that are marked for scoring with a knife ONLY. Folds that need to move to fold up
must be scored with a biro!.
SEMI DETACHED HOUSES
This pack makes up Semi Detached Houses.

GOVENORS HOUSE AND CHURCH NAVE

These are made almost exactly the same as the Semi Detached- House. Only the variations are listed
below.
Construction of Mansion east wing.
This is the same as the Governors house except the inner wall is glued as shown in the following figure.

CHURCH NAVE
This is built the same way as the Governors house except:

There is no floor for the nave.

The roof ends in line with the tower end of the walls. Its a good idea to glue the roof on after
the nave is glued to the tower so it fits properly.

CHURCH TOWER
This forms a square tower. The build is much like the rest except:

Glue roof to wall note. The edge of the roof should be in line with the long edge of the wall but
with a small overhang at the ends. The black triangles on the roof show the position of the
wall. It is possible to use a very soft pencil to mark the position on the roof so it can be erased
afterwards.
