Marvel Zombies Display Crate and Storage Box Assembly
Required tools:
Glue (Wood glue is best, but just about any adhesive will work)
Masking Tape (You can of course use clamps for clamping pieces together, but it is overkill)
Don’t Forget: Dry fit all pieces first!
Note: You will note the photos below are for our X-Men Marvel United box, except for very minor differences that will not change the procedure, the assembly and layout are nearly the same, with the exception of the number of shelves.
Also Note: Many pieces will by symmetrical in such a way that they will fit in multiple positions. When given the option we suggest orienting them so that any laser burn marks are on the inside, so that a cleaner exterior is maintained.
Main Body
Identify pieces
Identify the back, two sides, top, and three shelf bottom pieces. Note that on of the bottoms does not have a notch cut out and should be used for the bottom most piece.
Apply glue to tabs
Make sure that you are working on the interior side of the pieces.
Slot in shelves
Glue is not required for these pieces, but can be added if you prefer.
Fold pieces in
Lift in one side, then the top, then the other side.
Some care is required to fit all the shelf bottoms into their slots
Hold together firmly with tape
Make sure to hold pieces together firmly when taping.
Do not allow any gaps
Put aside to dry
Doors
Layout door pieces
Take special care to identify where the holes for the latch is.
You will need to make sure that the sides with the hinge holes are furthest away from the latch holes.
Also make note that the slots for shelves line up
Apply glue to tabs
Make sure that you are working on the interior side of the pieces.
Just as you did with the main body, slot in shelf bottoms, and bring the sides and top in.
Tape together firmly, set aside and repeat with other door.
Hardware
After the glue has had sufficient time to dry, the tape may be removed, and hardware added.
Two hinges on each side…
And the latch on front.
This box is now complete.
