Item Comment
see P 503 for the foldout version, YOU WILL FIND IN THIS BOOK FOUR PAGES OF BACKGROUND SCENERY, ALSO SEVERAL PAGES OF MODELS AND FIGURES. THESE ARE PERFORATED, SO THAT THEY CAN BE EASILY DETACHED FROM THE PAGES AND FITTED INTO THEIR PLACES IN THE BACKGROUNDS. EACH OF THE MODELS HAS A FLAP, WHICH, IF IT IS BENT BACK AFTER THE MODEL IS PLACED IN POSITION, WILL HOLD IT SECURE. THE MODELS ARE ALL NUMBERED, AND THERE ARE CORRESPONDING NUMBERS BESIDE THE SLOTS IN THE BACKGROUNDS INTO WHICH THEY ARE TO BE FITTED. THE SECOND SCENE IS A GRAND TRANSFORMATION SCENE, WHICH YOU WILL ESPECIALLY ENJOY MAKING UP. AS YOU WILL SEE, IT HAS TWO SETS OF MODELS, ONE FOR BEFORE THE TRANSFORMATION TAKES PLACE, THE OTHER FOR AFTER. THE FIRST CONSISTS OF CINDERELLA IN HER RAGGED DRESS, THE OLD WOMAN, THE PUMPKIN, AND THE RATS AND MICE; THE SECOND HAS CINDERELLA IN HER BALL-DRESS, THE FAIRY GODMOTHER, THE COACH WITH COACHMAN AND FOOTMEN. THE REMAINING MODELS IN THE SCENE (E.G. STOOL, COAL-SCUTTLE)REMAIN THE SAME IN BOTH CASES. WHEN ALL THE MODELS HAVE BEEN PLACED IN POSITION YOU WILL HAVE FASCINATING REALISTIC SCENES; AND BY BENDING THE MODELS OUTWARDS A FINE THIRD DIMENSIONAL EFFECT CAN BE PRODUCED.
