To make the bonnet, first cut the piece of wood P, 3 inches by 1-1/8 inches (Fig. 253). Two round cardboard discs, R and S, with centres painted red are glued at each corner. Next two pieces of wood the shape of Q in Figs. 249 and 253 are cut out. One piece, R, is glued to P, and P is glued to the bottom 1½ inches from the front (see Fig. 248). The other piece, Q, is glued in front. A piece of cardboard, 1½ inches by 3½ inches, is cut as in Fig. 254; half cuts are made along the dotted lines. It is painted as in the diagram. This piece of cardboard is bent along the dotted lines and glued round Q and R to form the bonnet.
Two pieces of wood, ¼" × ¼" × ¾" (S and T in Fig. 253) are glued in front on each side of the bonnet; these have round pieces of cardboard gummed to them to represent lanterns.
A number should be glued behind and in front of the car and a steering wheel added.
The wheels may be made of wood or cardboard; diameter about 2 inches (see Chapter XIII).
