Please read these instructions fully before starting construction.
PVA or equivalent glue will be required to stick sections together.
Sand paper can be used to gently clean any joints.
A sharp modelling knife will be required to remove sections from the sprue. Please use knives with due care and remember
to cut away from yourself at all times.
During the construction of this model, you may find it convenient to use pegs / elastic bands to hold pieces in place while
you allow glue to dry.
You may find it easier to paint portions of this model BEFORE construction –please see the end of the document for info
about this.
Upper Floor (Saddlery)
Remove the door and handle from the sprue and
glue them together as shown.
Take the floor and upper walls from the sprue (as
seen above).
Glue the walls to the floor with all the etched
detail facing inwards.
Take the frameworks.
Add the frames. Starting with the door
framework, glue this into place aligning the door
supports into their spaces.
Note: This piece will be flush to the left hand side
of the wall and extend out by about 3mm on the
right. Move around the building adding each
frame in turn.
Glue one of the door supports to the base of the
doorway with the hole on the left (see pic)

Place the top support on top of the door and
gently slide this into position as shown.
Then take the insert sections from the sprue and
glue them into the spaces in the framework.
Note the insert pieces for each wall are in their
relative positions on the sprue.
The completed Saddlery layer.
Painting
It is much easier to paint sections of this building prior to assembly.
For the inner walls we removed these from the sprue and then sprayed them white with a standard car undercoat spray
paint.
Once dry we then painted over the etched woodwork with a pale brown colour.
The outer frames remained unpainted.
The outer insert pieces were sprayed white (like the inner walls)
