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 Outer Wall A and place it face down
on your work surface. Then detach SF2 and
glue it to Outer Wall A.
SF2 should be positioned so that there is
equal space around the window apertures
and the door is aligned to its respective
cutout.
The push handle on the door should be face up.
i
2. Detach SF 1 and SF3. Fold each of the scored lines (two per part) and then glue them to Outer
Wall A.
The score lines on SF1 and SF3 should align with either end of Wall A.
i
3. Detach Outer Wall B and place it face down
on your work surface. Then detach SF4 and
glue it to Outer Wall B.
SF4 should be positioned so that there is
equal space around the window apertures.
i
4. Glue SF1 and SF3 to Outer Wall B.
The score lines on SF1 and SF3 should align
with either end of Wall B.
i
5. Detach Outer Wall C and glue it into position.
Repeat this step for Outer Wall D.

6. Locate the Glazing Sheet and cut out the windows.
Apply a small bead of glue in each window recess. Then, carefully position the windows, ensuring
that they’re correctly aligned from the outside of the building.
The cut line for the windows is the thin outer line.
i
7. Detach Inner Wall A along with Inner Wall B and glue them into position.
Both of the components should be aligned to the bottom of the wall, leaving space towards the
top of the wall for the Inner Roof tabs.
i
8. Detach Inner Wall C and glue it into position.
Repeat this step for Inner Wall D.
9. Detach two of the Shutter Doors and glue
them into position. We have supplied two
options, giving you choices for an open or
closed look tat either end of the model.

10. Detach the Inner Roof. Then locate the tabs and pre- fold them along the score lines.
Next, place the Inner Roof face down on your work surface so the black side is facing up. Then
apply glue to the tabs on one side of the component.
Carefully position the glued tabs so that they’re butt-up to the top of the Inner Wall, as per the
diagram below.
Finally, apply glue to the remaining tabs. Then, carefully position them so that they’re butt-up to
the top of the Inner Wall.
Use the vertical score line on the Inner Walls as a guide to ensure that the Inner roof has been
positioned central.
We recommend holding the tabs in position with a weighted object until the glue has cured to
ensure there’s a rm bond.
i
11. Detach the Steel Frame A (x12 Printed) and B(x7 blank).
Inner Frames
Apply a bead of glue to Frame B and then
bond it to the blank side of Frame A. Next,
apply a bead of glue to the other side of Frame
B and bond it to the blank side of another
Frame A.
Repeat this step four more times.
End Frames
After building the Inner Frames, you will be
left with two Frame A’s and two Frame B’s.
Apply a bead of glue to Frame B and then
bond it to the blank side of Frame A.
Repeat this step for the remaining two components.
Inner Frames
End Frames

12. (a) Locate the notches on either side of the wall at one end of the depot and apply glue inside them.
Then take one of the end frames and glue it into position. The frames have micro tabs that slot into
the notches.
(b) Repeat this step at the opposite end of the depot.
(c) Repeat this process for the Inner Frames.
13. Detach the Roof and fold it along the crease
line - this will make it easier to t. Then apply
glue to the blank side ensuring it’s equally
distributed. Fix the Roof to the Inner Roof,
ensuring that the edges overhang equally.
14. Detach the Bargeboards and t them to
either gable end, just below the roof.
15. Detach the Shutter Covers and t them to
either shutter door.

16. Detach Roof Vents A (x6), and fold each one along the score line. In this step, two seperate vent
stacks will be created by layering the components on top of one another.
Take two Roof Vent A components and glue them to the roof along the ridge line. We recommend
that they are distributed similarly to the diagram below.
Then t the remaining Roof Vent A components on top of the ones xed to the roof. At this point,
the vents should have three layers each.
Then detach Roof Vents B (x2) and fold them along the crease line. Next, t one to each of the vent
stacks.
