DISCLAIMER

We have made every effort to make sure that all

parts fit together properly, but sometimes tolerances

are tight and mistakes do happen. Test fit all pieces

before applying glue. Some trimming may be required.

Before photocopying or printing these pages on

cardstock, you may wish to assemble a test copy on

plain paper to better understand the construction. A

minimum of 65# cover stock is recommended for con-

structing the final models. Regular 20 lb. bond paper

can be used, but these items were designed for a

heavier stock for extra durability and coloring.

Tools Required:

Scalpel or sharp-bladed hobby knife

Metal ruler or straightedge

Cutting surface - a self-healing cutting mat is rec-

ommended, but a sheet of corrugated cardboard or even

heavy poster board will work as well.

Glue - white glue, glue stick or wax stick. Double

sided cellophane tape also works well. Rubber cement

can be used, but will sometimes stain the cardstock or

make it more difficult to color.

A basic stone bridge.

side walls), cut out and score as indicated. To build

the ramp, fold down the left and right sides and fold

down the back panel. Glue the tabs to the inside. To

construct the ramp side walls fold in the left and right

walls and glue the tabs to the inside. Fold down the

top panel and glue to the tabs on the tops of the side

walls. Fold down the inside wall and glue to the tabs

on the ends of the side wall. To construct the arched

side wall, cut out the piece making sure to cut along

the curved arch. The two blank panels on either side

will be for placement of the support columns. Fold in

the ends and fold down the tabs. Fold down the top

panel and glue to the tabs at the top of the ends. Fold

down the back panel and glue to the tabs at the edges

of the end panels.

A Note About Using White Glue

White glue contains a good deal of water. Too much

glue will warp the card stock so that its almost unus-

able. Warping may also cause the parts to fit together

incorrectly. If you use white glue, put a very thin coat

on the glue tabs - the thinner the better. You can use a

cotton swab or your finger to spread the glue thin.

Remember to keep a damp paper towel handy to re-

move any excess glue.

PLEASE NOTE:

Each item has been marked with a series of Grey

Lines that are an indicator that these lines are Fold or

Score lines. All Tabs which are to be glued to hold the

structures together are marked with a capital letter

(G). Unless otherwise noted, all Glue Tabs fold inwards

to the structure.

Cut out and score the main body of the bridge on

Page 2. For the basic bridge you will need only 1 copy.

Make sure you cut out the arch as this will match the

arch cutout in the side walls. Fold down the sides and

fold down each end, gluing the tabs to the inside. Set

this section aside to dry.

When all the pieces of the basic bridge are dry, final

assembly can start. There are 2 options you can use

for final assembly. The two ramps can be glued directly

to the ends of the main body or the clips on the last

page can be used so that the bridge can be taken apart

for storage. In either case, the ramp side walls will

have to be glued to either side of the ramp. See photo-

graph for illustration. For the final piece of assembly,

make 2 copies of Page 3 and cut out and score the two

columns marked as Table Top Posts. To assemble, fold

down the top and fold the tabs to the inside. Glue the

tab to the inside of the wall, working all the way around

until you reach the last wall. Glue the long tab on the

last wall to the inside to close. When dry, these col-

umns will glue to the blank panels on the side walls

and will be flush with the bottom of the bridge. The

smaller columns marked Extra Decorative Posts are

PLEASE NOTE:

Pages 1 and 3 will need to be printed twice for basic

bridge construction. Pages 4 and 7 will need to be

printed twice for the tower option. The pages are

marked on the files.

THE STONE BRIDGE is a modified color version of

the MicroTactix product that first appeared in 2001.

The bridge was designed to be modular in construc-

tion. It can be made as long as desired or as wide as

desired by adding the center sections, ramp sections

and side arch sections.

To begin construction of a basic bridge, make 2 cop-

ies of Page 1 (the ramp, the arched side wall and ramp

assembled the same way as above and can be placed

at the front walls of the ramp or as desired.

center of the bridge. These pieces will construct like

the other bridge sections given above.

If you wish to use this bridge in conjunction with

the terrain tiles products, such as DIRT CHEEP TER-

RAIN, use the pieces marked Terrain Tile Posts. The

will glue in the same locations as the Table Top Posts

but the tops will be flush with the top of the side wall.

Please note that the tower option cannot be used with

the terrain tiles and is for table top use only.

On the final page of this set are the tile clips. To

assemble, cut out and score as indicated. Make sure

to cut out the center section of the clip. Fold along the

center line and fold under each end “foot”. Glue one

“foot” on top of the other to make a triangular shape.

These clips are placed between sections to hold them

together and keep them from sliding apart during game

play.

CONSTRUCTING THE TOWERS OPTION

Pages 4 thorough 7 contain all the pieces needed to

construct the tower option. Please note that two cop-

ies of Page 4 and Page 7 will be required to complete

this option. To start, cut out the 2 copies of page 4 (the

tower body) and score as indicated. Cut out the blank

panels on the front wall at this time. Do not glue the

tower together at this time. Cut out and score all 4

recessed doorways located on Page 5. Fold up all four

sides and fold the triangular glue tabs down and glue

to the side walls. This will create a box with all the

printed panels on the inside. When dry, fold down the

glue tabs along the outside edges. Glue the doorway

over the cutout space in the tower body from the in-

side, lining up the edges. When dry, fold the tower body

into a box shape and glue the tab to the inside. Fold

down the tabs long the top edges. These will be used

for attaching the roof. Cut out and score the roof sec-

tions, also located on Page 5. Make all folds before be-

ginning. The tabs along the bottom edges of the roof

section will fold out from the roof so you may wish to

lightly score these tabs from the back (unprinted) side

before folding. Starting from the roof panel that has

the tab running down the side, glue the roof skirt to

the tab at the bottom of the panel. Work all the way

around until reaching the last panel. Glue the tab on

the last roof panel as well as the tab on the last roof

skirt to the inside. When dry, the roof can be attached

to the tower body by applying glue to the tabs along

the tower top and pressing the roof into place.

The basic bridge with the towers in the center.

Cut out and score the tower bridge section on Page

6. This will assemble as a box like the center section of

the bridge. When dry, glue this piece to the front of

one of the towers so that it is underneath the lower

doorway. Cut out and fold the walkway floor also lo-

cated on this page. It will assemble as a box as given

above. This section is to be glued underneath the up-

per doorway. Cut out and score the upper walkway

railings. Score and fold down the back panel making a

2 sided piece. When dry, glue the railing to the bottom

edge of the upper walkway and the wooden post at the

walkway end to the side of the tower. Be sure to match

up the bottom edge of the railing with the bottom edge

of the walkway. The bottom edge of the inside panel of

the railing will fit flush with the top of the walkway.

When dry, attach the second tower the same way. The

windows on Page 4 can be cut out and glued to the

tower as desired.

A bridge with 2 center sections and the towers

placed at one end.

Page 7 contains a short bridge section that can be

used for a number of different options. These pieces

are most useful if you want to place the tower piece in
