Plan of Procedures

Sandpaper- This will be used to smooth all rough edges of the wooden model. Low grit sandpaper will be used for very fine roughness while high grit will be used for very harsh roughness.

Paint- These different colors of paint (blue, green, brown, and grey) are used to paint the different aspects of the model, such as rocks, grass, land, or water.

Glue- This can be used to attach anything to the model structure.

Band Saw- this tool will be used to cut out the right scaled base from a sheet of wood. It will cut out a square or rectangular shape in which I’ll construct the model on top of it.

Scissors- this tool can be used whenever I need to cut out small model pieces.

Rock Mold- Lightweight Hydrocal will be poured into these rock shaped molds. Once dried, scaled rocks can be popped out and be used to make a breakwater and shoreline.

Spray Bottle- This handheld spray bottle can be used to disperse Scenic Cement over a larger area as opposed to as the scenic glue bottle.

Drill Press- Using this I will be able to put holes in my model base when constructing the necessary object on the model.

Paint Brush- Using any type of color, I will be able to apply the paint material on the brush and then transfer it to the model structure using brushing techniques taught to us by our freshmen technology instructor, Mrs. Green.

Vice Grip- This will be used to hold to objects needed to be attached by glue in a strong grip.

Safety Goggles- Shield eyes from harsh chemicals, sharp objects, and airborne particles in the shop.

Power drill with 1/8” drill bit- The power drill combined with the drill bit will be able to drill holes in the model structure.

X-Acto Knife- When products received from bid process, this will be used to cut small pieces from the plastic containers.


Scenic Cement- It’s used as water-based cement to attach objects or structures to model. Dries clear so it will leave no residue.

Scenic Glue- An adhesive for applying landscape material.

Lightweight Hydrocal- This product is used to pour into rock molds to quickly dry into hard shell terrain objects.

Fine Turf- Green Grass- This bag or shaker of fine turf-green grass will be sprinkled over glued wood and model areas of grass.

Realistic Water- This will be poured in areas that need to represent water. It will be poured on as light glue and will harden when dry.

Rock Mold- These molds will be used to create small scaled rocks. Lightweight Hydrocal will be poured in the rock mold and once dry, will resemble small scaled rocks.

Paving Tape- With two ¼” x 30’ rolls of this paving tape, I will be able to lie this down to represent the streets, street signs, and sidewalks of the marina.

Bushes-Light Green- This product can be used to represent foliage in the marina.

Road System Learning Kit- This product will only serve as an instructional manual in laying down paving tape to represent the streets and roadways in the marina.


Assembly Steps
1. Obtain all supplies, materials, parts, tools and equipment.
2. Set up work station.
3. Wear safety goggles when using power tools.
4. Place wood base (P1) on work station.
5. Use brown paint (S4) to paint land formations. Use green paint (S3) to simple area where fine turf will be applied.
6. Using scenic cement (M1), spray wood base areas where grass will be applied, and then lay fine turf-green grass (M4) on indicated areas on wood base (P1)
7. Using M3 and M6, create small scaled rocks to be used for breakwater.
8. Attach light green bushes (M8) using scenic glue (M2) to wood base (P1).
9. Layout streets and sidewalks on land portion of wood base (P1) using paving tape (M7) and road system learning kit (M9).
10. Use realistic water (M5) to create the water parts of the marina on the wood base (P1).
11. Attach all docking materials and railings to wood base (P1) once purchased.
12. Finish off model with a North symbol, scale, and title box.
