Decorating
Wooden
Models.
In
common
with
other
models,
those
constructed
of
wood
require
the
aid
of
lichen,
moss,
powdered
slate,
&c.,
and
colours,
to
complete
the
effect.

Water.
When
water
issues
from
the
original
cave,
and
it
is
desirable
to
copy
it
in
the
model,
a
piece
of
looking
glass
should
be
glued
on
the
stand,
and
the
edges
surrounded
by
glue,
and
paper
covered
with
sand.
Sometimes
it
is
requisite
to
cut
away
the
wood
of
the
stand,
so
as
to
let
in
the
looking
glass;
this,
however,
is
only
when
the
water
is
supposed
to
be
much
lower
than
the
surface
of
the
land.

Starch-Paste
Models.
Starch-paste
models
are
formed
in
the
usual
way,
of
the
following
composition:--Soak
gum
tragacanth
in
water,
and
when
soft,
mix
it
with
powdered
starch
till
of
a
proper
consistence.
It
is
much
improved
by
adding
some
double-refined
sugar
finely
powdered.
When
the
model
is
finished,
it
must
be
coloured
correctly,
and
varnished
with
white
varnish,
or
left
plain.
This
is
the
composition
used
by
confectioners
for
modelling
the
various
ornaments
on
cakes.
2362.
Ancient
Cities.
Ancient
cities
may
be
constructed
of
cork
or
starch-paste,
in
the
same
manner
as
directed
above;
bearing
in
mind
the
necessity
for
always
working
models
according
to
a
scale,
which
should
be
afterwards
affixed
to
the
stand
of
the
model.
2363.
Modern
Cities.
Modern
cities
are
better
made
of
cardboard,
starch-paste,
or
pipe-clay;
the
houses,
public
buildings,
and
other
parts
being
constructed
according
to
scale.
