Instructions for Special Edition Kit #JM-44

Finish the Inside...Plan Ahead!

Interior finishing involves so many choices!  

Will this house be a play-house or a display for 

miniatures?  What accessories will be used and 

where will they go?  Wiring? Wallpaper? Tile 

or carpeting?  Every choice makes a difference 

in the order of finishing.  Real Good Toys has 

provided materials for some basic interior work, 

but you may choose to do it differently.  

Make your choices

Get your materials

Test your layout

With the pieces in your hands

, imagine the 

steps to get to where you want to be.  

Now you’re ready for 

your

 order of interior finishing.

Here’s the order that our assembly pro follows for 

tackling most custom interior finishing:
• 

Dividers

•  Electrical wiring (using “tape

 style wiring)

•  Wallpaper, paint

•  Interior Window Trim

•  Flooring

•  Stairs

•  Baseboard and crown moldings

 

24.  Glue together the Interior Window Trim at the 

corners.  Glue the Trim to the windows after wallpaper 

or painting is done (be skimpy with the glue to avoid 

squeeze out).

Interior Window Trim

Congratulations! 

You’re done with the construction 

part of your miniature project... 

Enjoy the Rest!

Glue the addition to the house.  

Use lots of glue, great bands of tape all the 

way around the house and addition using several thickness to give a really good 

pull, and spring clamps (spring clothes pins work well) or tape (don’t tape to 

wallpaper) to hold the parts tight at the back.  If the house has trimstrips at the 

back edge, take them off with heat (a hair dryer makes it a few minute job with 

no breakage).  

Glue and tape the foundation to the house Foundation.

Glue and tape the Addition to the Foundation and house - weight the floor.
