| Crack open your Basilica Administratum
box, clip out all the wall sections and trim
them of any mold lines or flash. If you wish
to cut open either of the two pieces with
doorways, now would be the time to do so!
Next, clip out all the floor sections and
break them into individual squares. You can
do this by bending them back and forth along
the natural seam in the plastic. Finally,
locate the three long girders on the sprue
and clip them out. Arrange all the pieces
so that they look exactly like the photos
above. Glue each of the three long girders
to their corresponding wall piece before proceeding.
Finally, glue all the floor squares into one
large strip that mimics the pattern shown
above. Place the right side of the monastery
wall aside (in this case, the photo on the
right) and prepare the left wall for gluing. |

| The foundation templates were measured
and designed with these wall sections in mind.
So, all you really have to do now is follow
the foundation! Place and glue the piece with
the doorway along the edge of the upper foundation
tier as shown in the picture above. Next,
glue the piece with all the skulls adjacent
to the doorway. Continue with the window wall
and broken window wall sections. Finally,
there's the long strip of floor squares. Glue
this wall in place so that it's parallel to
the monastery's front steps. Repeat this for
the right wall before filling in the upper
wall sections. |

Once you have the left and right wall sections
glued in place, fill in the upper wall sections.
Just follow the layout shown here and glue
the walls in place. When finished your monastery
ruins will finally begin to look like something!
Though not pictured, you should attach all
the extra bits like lamps, buttresses, and
eagle heads at this time. Use the photos below
for reference in this matter. |

| Now that the walls have been
built up...it's time to tear them down. Grab
a pair of clippers and begin wreckin' stuff.
Clip out windows, bend up door frames, and
chip everything really well. Leave nothing
untouched! Be sure to save all the clipped
ruin bits you'll end up with for use later.
When the smoke clears, you should have a fine
ruin on your hands. Up next, it's time to
add some style to that flat and boring foundation. |
