first of all, cut out the wood by following the drawing plan as shown

and for the nick (Fingerboard) you can increase the thickness of it by putting multi-layer of wood glued together.

Note:

Take your time while cutting the shapes and sand it carefully

At this stage, the object begins to take its final shape

Wet the wood first, then gently bend it and glue it to the edges of the bottom piece first as shown

1. Start with the bottom piece

2. wait until it's totally dry

3. Glue the Upper piece

1. Once you're satisfied with the shape glue the nick to the body using strong wood adhesive, then paint your miniature as you like.

2. And to make the position markers use thin metal wire and cut it out then glue it to the nick, use the drawing plan as a guide

3. Drill 6 holes in the bridge pins and another 6 into the nick.

4. For the strings, you may use nylon or any thick threads.
