Tips
Prior to starting your build, we recommend reading through the instructions to familiarise
yourself with the build style of the kit.
We recommend painting any white edges as you remove the components from the sheet to
improve the nished look. We advise watercolour paints for the best nish.
Each component is held in the sheet using score lines, indicated by a scissor symbol. To remove
the component from the sheet, carefully run the tip of your modelling knife through the score line.
Remove each component as it is required to prevent losing or mixing it up with another component.
Ensure that glue is distributed evenly and not too close to the edge as it may ooze out when
pressure is applied.
Use low-tac masking tape, clamps and weights to aid the assembly process.

3a. Detach the front door (x2) - we have oered
two dierent styles - then cut out the glazing
and glue to the rear of the door. Next, detach
the two french door surrounds (located to the
right of component F. Then, cut out the french
door glazing - again, we have oered two
styles - and glue to the surrounds.
1. Detach component A and place it face down on your work surface. Locate the crease line on the
left hand side, fold it over on itself and glue. Then fold the remaining crease lines by 90 degrees.
Repeat this step for component B.
Apply rm pressure until the glue is semi cured to stop the tabs from lifting.
2. Now locate the glazing sheet and proceed to glue the glazing to the inside of components A and B.
To remove the glazing from the sheet, cut along the thin outlines around each window.
Before applying any glue, oer up the glazing to the window to ensure you are condent where
each piece goes, being careful not to mix up similar size components.
Be careful not to apply too much glue or pressure to prevent any bleed.

3b. Glue both of the french doors to component A. Then glue the front doors to component B.
4. Glue the tab on Wall A to Wall B. Then glue
the remaining tab on Wall B to Wall A.
5. Detach component C and place it within the
walls (ensuring that the notches are in the
same position as they are in the illustration
below), then glue.
6a. Detach x4 component E, pair them and glue
together to create two sets of packers.
6b. Next, detach component D (x2). Then take
the packers and glue them to component D
as per the below illustration. This will create
two internal walls.

8. Apply a bead of glue across the tops of
the internal wall (component D), dividing wall
and chimney breast. Then detach component
l and position within the building to create
the rst oor.
Apply gentle pressure until the glue is semi
cured to ensure a strong bond.
The notches in component l have been
designed to avoid the tabs on the outer
walls to ensure the best t.
6c. Now glue the internal walls to the inside of
the main walls, ensuring that the tabs sit in
the notches within the oor.
The packers should be sandwiched between
the two walls when glued.
The packers should not overlap the return
folds.
7a. Detach component G (x2) and fold along each
of the crease lines (x4) and glue. This will
create a chimney breast.
Put one of the chimney breasts to one side
as you will need it for step 10.
7b. Detach component F (x1) and position it
so that there is an even space either side.
Then glue to the walls and oor. This will
create the ground oor dividing wall.
Apply gentle pressure until the glue is semi
cured to ensure a strong bond.
7c. Slide the chimney breast over the dividing
wall and then glue into position.
These two components have been designed
to interlock for strength.

9a. Similarly to step 6a, detach x4 component E,
pair them and glue together to create two
more sets of packers.
9b. Glue the packers into position on the side
walls. Then detach component H (x2) and glue
into position (similar to Step 6c, this will create two
more internal walls).
10. Similarly to steps 7b and 7c, detach
component F (x1) and position it so that
there is an even space either side. Then glue
to the walls and oor. This will create the rst
oor dividing wall. Next slide the chimney
breast over the dividing wall and glue into
position.
11. Apply a bead of glue across the tops of
the internal wall (component H), the dividing
wall and chimney breast. Then detach the
remaining component l and position on top of
the building.
We recommend using ATD low-tac masking
tape to assist on this step whilst the glue
cures.
12a. Detach component J and fold the pre-creased
lines to form the shape of the roof (at this
point, we recommend painting the white
edges). Then glue the tabs (x2) to the
underside of the roof.
We recommend using ATD clamps to hold
the tabs in position whilst the glue cures.
12b. Apply a bead of glue across the top of all four
external walls. Then position the roof on top
of the walls, ensuring that overhang is evenly
distributed.
We recommend using ATD low-tac masking
tape to assist on this step whilst the glue
cures.

13a. Detach component K (x2) and fold along each
of the crease lines and glue. This will create
a chimney.
Repeat this step.
13b. Detach the capping stones (located next to
component K) and place them face down on your
work surface. Then glue one of the smaller peices
on to one of the large peices, ensuring it is centre
aligned. Repeat this step for the remaining two
pieces.
13c. Apply a bead of glue around the top of the
chimney. Then position the capping stone
on the chimney (the smaller piece should sit
inside the chimney).
13d. Apply a bead of glue around the base of the
chimney. Then carefully insert the chimneys
inside of the roof, resting it on top of the loft
oor.
14a. Detach component M and place it face down
on your work surface. Then detach the
garage door glazing (blank square) and glue
to component M.
Repeat this step.
14b. Detach component L and place it face down
on your work surface. Then detach the
garage glazing and glue to component L.
Repeat this step.

15. Next, fold the crease lines on component L.
Then, glue component M to the inside of
component M, as per the illustration below.
Repeat this step.
16. Detach component N (garage base) and apply a
bead of glue around each edge. Then position the
base within the garage walls.
Repeat this step.
Apply gentle pressure until the glue is semi
cured to stop components seperating.
17. Detach component O and glue it to the front
of the garage, as per the illustration below.
Repeat this step.
18. Detach component P (roof) and glue it to the
garage, as per the illustration below.
Repeat this step.
