How to Build GeobloxTopographic Landform Models |
|
|---|---|
 |
1. Copy a map from one of the Geoblox Topographic Landform books. 2. Use carbon paper to trace the contour lines onto cardboard. Start with the lowest contour. Only trace one line on each piece of cardboard. 3. To keep track of all the layers, write the contour level on each piece of cardboard. |
 |
4. Cut out each contour level. Be careful to keep the knife pointed AWAY from yourself and others at all times. |
 |
5. Glue the layers together. |
 |
6. For best results, paint your model. This will cover up any printing on the cardboard and it will make your model look more realistic.
