The learner will learn to read & follow directions carefully, have patience for constructing a model, clean up afterwards, and complete model. |
| sequence | read through directions, review model parts, organize pieces by order of need for construction, paint necessary pieces sufficiently, follow directions |
| second learning episode | constructing a more complex model |
| content | constructing a glue-together model |
| supporting content | gluing, using various paints or mixing colors, spray painting large primary pieces, cutting & sanding pieces |
| restrictions | no putty, no air brushing, no fabricating pieces, no detailing |
|

The learner will learn to properly apply spray paint, selection and/or mix complex colors, use different paint on the same piece, cut out and sand piece to fit properly, and glue complex parts. painting and gluing depend order of instructions |
| sequence | instruction & practice on smooth coat spray painting on paper, cutting & sanding left over plastic, painting multiple colors on single pieces |
| third learning episode | constructing a complex model |
| content | constructing a glue-together, detailed model |
| supporting content | gluing, brush painting, sanding, puttying, fabrication, cutting, spray painting, airbrushing, detailing |
| restrictions | none |
|
