STOP!  READ THIS FIRST! 

 

 

1. Test fit all parts and make sure you know how everything goes together before gluing.  If 

you are contemplating cutting a part to make it fit, please re-examine your assembly plan

you’ve probably misunderstood some aspect of the design. Parts have been tested and 

should fit together in a fairly straightforward manner without modification. DO NOT TRY 

TO FORCE PARTS TOGETHER! 

2. BE PATIENT! Do not try to glue too many pieces together at one time! Try to do small 

sub-assemblies (for instance, the floor and two walls instead of 4) that can be set aside and 

allowed to dry before moving on to the next step. This way, you won't have to risk destroy-

ing the model with poorly-conceived clamping schemes or overly-tight rubber banding. 

3. The little tabs in the corner of floor 

pieces are for alignment, not for 

strength. Do not saturate them with 

glue or they might distort! Glue 

should be used along the wall edges 

where there is a lot more surface area 

to glue to. 

4. Most roofs are made to be re-

moved. A few buildings have no floor 

(assumed dirt floor), so if you have a 

base to glue it to, go ahead and make 

the roof removable. If you want it to 

be free-standing and sturdy, glue the 

roof truss to the middle of the top of 

the side walls and at least glue at least 

one roof panel in place.  

5. Metal doors and windows are pro-

vided. They have interior woodwork; 

the interior and exterior pieces sand-

wich the wall between them. All metal 

parts require priming to paint.  

6. Use white glue for most assembly;
