Instructions
Step 1. Print out the template onto the three sheets of card. Print the template onto the BACK of your card so that the ink is hidden in the final result. To Print - open the pdf doc (below) or jpg image (right) and print it out.

Step 4.
Adhere the load to the back of the tipper using double-sided tape or glue: Put your adhesive on the front of the dirt load, but only on the lower part that will go behind the tipper. Then attach it to the back-side of the tipper (as shown). This helps to avoid getting extra adhesive on the tipper. |
Step 5.
Set an eyelet (see picture right for positioning) to hold the tipper onto the dump truck. Don't set it too tight or the tipper will not be able to move freely. Alternately you can use a split pin to attach the tipper. To do this, you punch the hole and attach the tipper at the same time as you do the holes for the wheels (below). |
Step 7.
Use a round hole punch to cut the two wheels out of black card. If you do not have a punch, you could use a compass to draw two circles of diameter approximately 2.5cm, or trace around a bottle lid, and cut them out by hand. If you have a punch wheel, use it to mark around the outside of the wheels to look like tyre tread. Then use the hole punch from the eyelet setting kit to punch a small hole in the middle of each wheel. |
Step 8.
Using the picture (right), work out the placement of the wheels on the truck. Then punch holes, (using the eyelet hole punch), in the position of the wheel holes, through the card. Make sure you only punch through the front of the card - open the card up before punching. If you are attaching the tipper with a split pin, make the hole for the tipper to attach now. Position the tipper in place, and then punch through it and all the layers of the card front. Use the picture as a guide for the hole placement. |
Step 9.
Attach the wheels (and tipper) using the split pins.
Attach the wheels (and tipper) using the split pins.
