1. Prepare Building Parts and Details
• Remove mold flash from Wall and Roof Sections and Details
using a hobby knife and sandpaper (Fig. 1a). Do not remove
Details from sprues at this time.
• Wash Wall Sections, Roof and Details in warm, soapy water
using a mild detergent. Rinse and let dry.
• Details can be left on sprues (recommended) or
removed for priming and painting. Remove using
a hobby knife (or flush cutting shears) and sand
off parting lines (Fig. 1b). Details may be easier to
paint on sprue. It also makes identifying them easier
during assembly.
• Be careful to not remove placement posts or
installation tabs (Fig. 1c).
2. Prime and Paint
Do not prime or paint placement posts.
• Apply a thin coat of primer and let dry.
• Paint as desired and let dry. See Tips & Techniques
on pg. 6 for painting tips and weathering
techniques.
TIP! To make priming and painting loose
Details easier, secure them to strips of
masking tape attached (sticky side up) to
a piece of cardboard (Fig. 2a and 2b).
3. Install Window Material
Position Printed Window Material on
backside of Walls. Remove protective film
before installation. If clear windows are
preferred, use Clear Window Material.
• Align Window Material over
corresponding windows on inside of
Building. Verify placement, then glue
in place. Dab a small amount of glue
carefully around edges (Fig. 3a).
• Repeat for each set of window openings.
4. Apply Dry Transfer Decals
• Cut out desired Decal. Avoid handling the back and position in desired location. Rub over
entire Decal with a burnisher or dull pencil.
• Lift away carrier sheet carefully. If Decal did not transfer completely, let carrier sheet fall
back in place and burnish again.
• Place backing paper over Decal and burnish again for maximum adhesion.
• When applying onto textured surface, press Decal into texture with a pencil eraser.
