Assembly Tips
The scale miniature globes are cuboctahedrons:

Some assembly tips:
- in the map fold-outs, folding lines separating polygon faces
are absent; they are included in the crease patterns available
here for practice
- precision and patience matter most. Small errors can accumulate
and prevent fitting the last faces
- using a dull blade guided by ruler or straightedge, lightly
and carefully score all folding lines before cutting. This
will make creasing easier and more precise
- if you prefer scoring the reverse side of paper, use a needle
or pin to make tiny perforations at every vertex and use them
as guides
- a utility knife guided by a straightedge is more precise
than scissors, but please be careful! To keep better alignment,
score and cut as many lines as possible without moving the
straightedge; also, use the additional alignment ticks included
in several maps check every white tab's fit before applying
glue
- a single face (shaded in the preview pattern) should be
glued last; it has no tabs, so must be aligned by sight
