the steps for gluing the side lining panels.

12. To paint pieces,
place a line of poster removable clay on a piece of
cardboard that you can afford to ruin with paint.
Carefully place pieces into the clay. Not too far
into the clay that the bases don't get painted. Also
position the pieces far enough apart that the spray
can't make contact with all surfaces.
13. Make at least 2
sprayed coats of paint. This is how they look after
one coat.
For
positioning of the pieces, follow the photos below.
