INSTRUCTIONS
Read through instructions before beginning.
Use plastic cement to glue parts. Plastic cement works by dissolving the surface of plastic and
welding parts together. Be careful to avoid contact with detail on parts and visible areas on Clear
Window Material. Always allow glue to set thoroughly before moving on to next construction step.
Prepare Building Parts
Wash Walls, Door and Details in warm, soapy water, rinse and let dry. Use a hobby knife and sand-
paper to remove excess plastic (tabs and flash) that occurred during the molding process. Tabs:
Score flush with part, snap off and sand smooth. Flash: Lightly scrape along edges to remove debris
and sand smooth. Face cutting edge of blade opposite the scraping direction to avoid cutting into
detail on Walls.
NOTE: Some Walls have alignment pins to assist in proper alignment. Do not sand or remove
alignment pins.
Square Draft Angles
Wall edges are angled (draft angles) to make removal from mold easier. Draft angles need to be
sanded square to allow for proper assembly and a flush fit with adjoining Walls. To square edges,
thumbtack a piece of 120-grit sandpaper to a board and draw Wall back and forth evenly on sand-
paper until edge is square and level. Edges to be sanded squared do not have brick detail and are
marked “A” (Fig. 4).
Bay Windows
1. Bay Windows are assembled as two three-window sets. Center Window Panels are wider than
Outer Window Panels and have mitered angles on both edges. Outer Panels have one square
edge to attach to the building and one mitered edge to attach to Center Panel. All windows will be
positioned with the narrow panel along the bottom (Fig. 1).
2. Remove Bay Window Panels from sprue. Assemble and glue Window Panel sets (Fig. 1). Keep
top and bottom edges as level as possible.
Attach Bay Window Assemblies to Front Wall
1. Run a narrow bead of glue along outer edges of Bay Window Assemblies.
2. Insert Assemblies into grooves on Front Wall (515-1) (Fig. 2). Be sure narrow panels are posi-
tioned toward the bottom and wide panels toward the top. Ridges on Front Wall and top of Bay
Windows should align (Fig. 3).
3. Tops of Walls and Bay Windows must be level with each other. If necessary, sand entire top of
Front Wall assembly to level.
Paint Roof
1. Prime rough side of Roof and paint (color suggestion: grimy black) before installing.
Chimney Backs
1. The Roof (515-5) will be glued to the bottom of the four Chimney Backs (515-6). File draft angle
off bottom of Chimneys so Roof will set flush.
2. Glue Chimney Backs to backside of molded-in chimney fronts (Fig. 4A).
3. When glue is set, file tops flat.
Back and Side Wall Assembly
1. Side Walls (515-2) and (515-4) have alignment pins to aid in alignment of parts.
2. Align Back Wall (515-3) with alignment pins on Side Walls (515-2) and (515-4) (Fig. 4).
3. Check alignment and glue in place.
Install Roof
1. From front of building, slide Roof under Chimney Backs into place (Fig. 5).
2. If Roof does not fit, sand edges as necessary.
3. Apply glue along inside seams.
Attach Front Wall
1. Place building on its front face and lightly sand in a circular motion (Fig. 6).
2. Test fit Front Wall (515-1) and check seams (Fig. 7). If gaps occur, repeat sanding step.
3. Apply glue along inside seams.
