Score the folds of the side walls and front of the mission. Fold the left side of the front wall back.

Glue the back wall to the left wall and then glue the front wall to the tabs at the ends of the two side walls.


Cut out the side building that houses the gift shop and museum entrance. Note that one fold is a reverse fold. Score this fold on the back, as explained on the Tips & Techniques page.

Fold the side building into the shape indicated then glue it to the side wall of the mission.

Cut out the roof of the side building and glue in place

Cut out the roof of the mission and fold down the center. If you'd like, you can use a colored pencil to hide the white edge of the paper, as explained on the Tips & Techniques page.

Look for the small grey square on the roof where the cross will be placed. Glue the roof with the cross at the front. Cut out the tiny cross and glue in place. You can strengthen the tiny piece of paper with a drop of super glue, as explained on the Tips & Techniques page.
