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) and rear door (x2)
from sheet 1 - we have oered two dierent
styles. Then cut out the glazing and glue to
the rear of the door.
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 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 front doors and one of the rear doors to component A. Then glue the remaining
door 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. Locate components ‘E’ (there are two
dierent sizes). Detach x2 large and glue them
together. Then detach x2 of the small and
glue them together. This will create two sets
of packers.
Large: 32.5mm x 26.5mm
Small: 32.5mm x 13.5mm
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.
11.00 mm

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 internal wall with the small packer should
be on the left hand side as you look at the
house from the front.
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.
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.
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 (the packer on the left hand side as you look
from the front of the house should not overlap
the tab). Then detach component H (x2) and glue
into position (similar to Step 6c, this will create two
more internal walls).
11.00 mm
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 L and place it face down
on your work surface. Next, detach
component S and glue it face down to
component L. Then, cut out the window from
the glazing sheet and glue to component L.
Repeat this step.
14b. Now fold component L along each of the
crease lines and glue. This will form the
outbuilding.
Repeat this step.

14c. Next, glue both outbuildings to the rear of
the houses, as per the illustration below.
The doors on the outbuilding should be next
to the rear door on the house.
14d. Apply a bead of glue around the top of each
outhouse. Then, detach component M (x2) and
position them on the top of the outhouses.
We recommend using ATD low-tac masking
tape to assist on this step whilst the glue
cures.
15a. Detach component Q and place it face down
on your work surface. Then cut out the
garage glazing and glue it into position.
Repeat this step.
15b. Detach component P and place it face down
on your work surface. Then take component
Q and glue face up, aligned to the left hand
side.
Repeat this step.
15c. Fold component P along the crease line and
glue into position. This will create the garage
front.
Repeat this step.
16a. Detach component O and place it face down
on your work surface. Then cut out the
garage window glazing and glue it into
position.
Repeat this step.

16b. Detach component R and place it on your
worksurface. Then take component O, fold it
along the crease lines and wrap it around
component R. Then glue once in position.
Repeat this step.
17. Detach component S, position it central to the
garage and glue into position.
Repeat this step.
Apply gentle pressure until the glue is semi
cured to stop the tabs from lifting.
18. Now take the garage front and glue it to the
tabs on component O.
Repeat this step.
19. Detach component T and glue it to the
top of the garages. Then detach component
U and glue it to the top of component P.
Repeat this step.
