If you want to make a van, and you'll

rounded features, we must bend them while the pieces are newly ironed and warm.
|  |
A car is a little harder to build.
|  |
You start making the pieces,
you need to the car. They are made of square formed tiles.
the front window-piece and
the rear window piece are formed while they are still warm and moldable.

Once you've done all the parts you glued them together
with glue ment for wood or masking tape.
|  |
You need wheels for your car. The
wheels you can make on the little round peg board. Put no bead in the middle of the peg board. Iron the
wheels on both sides. Fix the wheels with screws and Nabbi-tubes.
If your Nabbi-provider doesn't have Nabbi-tubes, you can use other plastic tubes or a
piece of wood as the wheel axle.

wheels on both sides. Fix the wheels with screws and Nabbi-tubes.
If your Nabbi-provider doesn't have Nabbi-tubes, you can use other plastic tubes or a
piece of wood as the wheel axle. (see the trailer at the bottom of the page).
If you want to have a trailer to your tractor, you attach a hook on the back of it.
