Automobile Apparition
You’re alone on a country road. An eerie mist rolls over the moors ahead as a pair of headlights illuminates it, the points of piercing light grow closer, but no engine is heard, only the sound of tires slick against the moist road beneath. Finally the vehicle comes into view, it’s vintage, very vintage, as it drives past you look into the windows and see only vague forms writhing within as the translucent cabin cruises past you and fades back into the night. This Automobile Apparition haunts the misty moors, mystifying and frightening lone travellers who take a terrifying wrong turn.
This Automobile Apparition is a made from a single piece over a single A4 page.

Print
Print the template file using your home printer. Most of the designs on Fold Up Toys are designed to work best with 200gsm A4 cardstock, as it’s cheaply available, however the designs should still work with standard printer paper if none is available.

Score Folds (optional)
Using empty ball point pen, bone folder or craft knife, lightly press along the fold lines of the template, with enough force to score the page without cutting all the way through. This will make it easier to fold the page where needed without creasing the page and give a cleaner, more accurate edge. If you are a younger builder, please seek adult supervision.

Cut
Carefully cut out the template along the solid cut lines, some cut lines will shift between two colours to better contrast the texture of the model, be sure to look for smaller cut lines within the model that may require a craft knife. If you are a younger builder, please seek adult supervision.

Glue
Carefully glue the tabs, most Fold Up Toy templates use numbered tabs to help show the recommended order that tabs should be glued down in. It’s recommended to use a small amount of PVA glue applied with a small paint brush, apply the glue to the tabs in small, thin layers so that when the tab is pressed down, the glue does not get squeezed out and stain the rest of the model.
