1. Gather all required materials and prepare them for use.
2. Take plywood and cut to appropriate size using the band saw.
3. Once the board is cut to the appropriate size, follow the working drawing and mark where the water ends and the land begins.
4. Following the working drawings cut the foam blocks, using the x-acto knife and wood file, to the appropriate size and height to match that of the marinas edge
5. Once the foam edge of the marina is in place paint the water line using the blue paint.
6. Once the blue paint has finished drying apply the acrylic over it to make the paint appear more like water.
7. Once the acrylic has dried it is time to make the bulkhead. Cut the plastic sheets so that they are able to run across the entire edge of the marina. And glue them using the hot glue gun to the water-side of the foam.
8. Once the bulkheads are in place it is time to create the docks. To begin work on the docks the balsa wood must be cut into strips 3 inches in length. Do this for all of the balsa wood.
9. Once the wood is cut into strips place them side by side in accordance to the working drawings to simulate the docks.
10. Continue this method for each dock until each dock is reconstructed to the appropriate scaled length
11. Now add any other details including scenery.
12. Once scenery is added it is time to finish painting your model.
13. Once all finishing touches are added your model is complete.
