ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The Smitty is a very simple build-
ing. There are four sides and two
roof panels—no floor; it’s assumed
to be dirt. There are 14 metal parts,
a roof truss, and four small wooden
crown pieces for the false front to
complete the kit.
Glue the four sides together and
hold for curing with a rubber band
or clamp. Since there is no floor, be
careful to keep the building square
and not let it collapse inward.
Once completely cured, glue the
window and door pieces in place.
The way the roof is installed de-
pends on the way you intend to dis-
play the building. Since it is without
a floor, you could glue it down to a
hard board base (to which you can
add flocking, sand, and detail parts
like rain barrels and wagon wheels).
In that case, you would assemble
the roof separately and leave it re-
movable. If you intend to handle the
building without a base, it is recom-
mended that you either glue the roof
on the building so it does not come
off, or glue the truss to the top of
the walls, and one roof panel in
place, removing the other for figure
access.
When painting, make sure to do a
good job of spray priming—the
large metal doors are easily scuffed
and present a large flat metal sur-
face, which can be challenging for
paint when not adequately primed.
Being a Blacksmith shop, this build-
ing would not have been elaborately
painted. The easiest way to finish
the building is with successive dry-
brushed coats of lighter and lighter
paint, taking it from dark brown to a
weathered barn color in several
steps. Paint the hardware on the
door a steel color—add rust if you
feel ambitious!
