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.

1. Detach Wall A and place it face down on your
work surface. Next, fold the tabs (x2) over on
themselves and glue. Repeat this step for Wall B.
Apply rm pressure until the glue is semi-cured
to stop the tabs from lifting.
2. Detach Wall E and place it face down on your
work surface. Then detatch Wall F and glue it to
Wall E. Repeat this step for Wall G and H. This
will create two interior walls.
Each wall has two notches cut out. These should
align once they’re glued together.
3. Detach Wall C and place it face down on your
work surface. Take one of the interior walls
created in step 2 and glue face up to Wall B.
Repeat this step with wall D and the remaining
Interior Wall.
Ensure there is an even gap between the edges
of the inteior wall and the crease lines on Wall C.
4. Detach Wall I and place it face down on your
work surface. The detach Wall J and glue to Wall
I, taking care to align the doorways. Repeat this
step for Wall K and L. This will create two more
interior walls.
5. Detach the Trusses (x4). Glue two of the
Trusses together (back to back), taking care to
align the two components. Repeat this step
for the two remaining Trusses.
6. Detach Fascia A and place it face down on your
work surface. Then detach Fascia B and glue it
face up to Fascia A, taking care to line up the
two components. This will create the Front
Fascia

7. Take Wall C and fold the tabs (x2) inwards by
90 degrees (towards the white wall). Repeat
this step for Wall D.
8. Take Wall C and glue the tab to Wall A. Repeat
this step for Wall D and B.
Ensure that the notches on the interior walls are
at the top of the wall (as per the illustration
below).
9. Take Wall C and glue the remaining tab to Wall
B. Then take Wall D and glue the remaining tab
to wall A.
10. Glue one of the interior walls to the inside of Wall
A (print side facing outwards). Then glue the
remaining interior wall to the inside of Wall B.
11. Glue the Front Fascia to one end of the building.
Then detach Rear Fascia and glue to the other
end of the building. See illustration below for
guidance.
12. Position the Trusses in the notches located at
the top of the interior walls and glue.

13. Detach the Roof. Then fold along the crease
lines to create the double-peak style. Next take
the semi-transparent sheet, cut it into four
equal strips and glue to the underside of the
roof, ensuring you cover all of the window
openings.
14. Carefully glue the roof to the building, ensuring
that even pressure is applied across the entire
part.
We recommend using a low-tac masking tape
to hold the roof down whilst it cures.
15. Detach four doors (we’ve supplied two
dierent styles). Then glue to the inside of the
building, over the door openings.
You can trim the doors to any desired length
to achieve an ‘open’ look.
16. Detach the Shutter Covers and glue over the
doors (as per the illustration below).
