Cardstock Model: Bike Shop

 When we first moved to Rochester many years ago, we bought bikes from a shop in SE Rochester, MN.  Over the years, we made more purchases from there and were always happy with the service.  Recently the store has closed down.  This was the first cardstock model I made of buildings in Rochester, MN.  I'm sharing it here.  I changed store and brand names to avoid any issues.

To build it:

  1. Down load the file from this link.
  2. Print out the PDF on 8"x11.5" cardstock using a color laser printer.  (You can do that through a print service from OfficeMax for example.  It costs me about 50 cents per sheet printed).
  3. Using a ruler and a utility knife, gently score the folding edges where the tabs, roof, and building corners will need to be folded.  That will give you sharp lines.  
  4. Using Elmer's glue and a toothpick, gently apply a small amount of glue to the tabs, and glue the building together.
