INSTRUCTIONS
Read through instructions before beginning.
Use plastic cement to glue parts. Plastic cement works by dissolving the surface of
plastic and welding parts together. Be careful to avoid contact with detail on parts and
visible areas on Clear Window Material. Always allow glue to set thoroughly before
moving on to next construction step.
Prepare Walls
Wash Walls, Chimney Tubes and Dock Platform in warm, soapy water, rinse and let dry. Use
a hobby knife and sandpaper to remove excess plastic (tabs and flash) that occurred during
the molding process. Tabs: Score flush with part, snap off and sand smooth. Flash: Lightly
scrape along edges to remove debris and sand smooth. Face cutting edge of blade opposite
the scraping direction to avoid cutting into detail on Walls.
Square Draft Angles
Wall edges are angled (draft angles) to make removal from mold easier. Draft angles
need to be sanded square to allow for proper assembly and a flush fit with adjoining
Walls. To square edges, thumbtack a piece of 120-grit sandpaper to a board and draw
Wall back and forth evenly on sandpaper until edge is square and level (Fig. 1). Wall
edges that need to be sanded square do not have brick detail.
1. Sand both edges of
Fig. 1
Walls (506-4), (506-6)
and (506-2).
Sand edges square
Sandkanten quadratishch
2. Sand both edges of
short Dock Wall (506-8)
and left edge only of
long Dock Wall (506-7).
3. Sand top of Dock Walls
square to assure a flush
fit with bottom of Dock
Platform (506-9).
Assemble Wall Sections
During wall assembly, align brick courses while keeping bottom of walls as level as
possible. Make sure corners are square.
1. Glue Walls (506-1), (506-2) and (506-3). Do not confuse ground-level Wall (506-1)
with dock-level Wall (506-3). Recess Wall (506-2) on backside of Wall (506-1) approx-
imately 1/32" for pilaster offset. Wall (506-2) sets against backside of (506-1) and
outside of (506-3).
2. Glue Walls (506-4) and (506-5). Then, glue Wall (506-6) to Wall (506-5). Recess end
Walls (506-4) and (506-6) approximately 1/32" for pilaster offset. Walls (506-4) and
(506-6) set against backside of (506-5).
Test Fit and Assemble Building
1. Test fit Wall Sections (506-4), (506-5), (506-6) with Wall Sections (506-1), (506-2),
(506-3). If the building is not square, determine which Wall (506-4) or (506-6) is
too long and sand outside edge slightly. When building is square, apply glue along
adjoining seams. Let dry.
2. Test fit Dock Walls (506-7) and (506-8), recessing them approximately 1/32". Sand
edges as needed and glue in place. Let dry.
3. Test fit Dock Platform (506-9). Trim as needed to fit around pilasters. File ejector pin
mark flush. Glue in place. Let dry.
Main Roof, Dock Roof and Roof Supports
1. To make Roof (506-10), place building on Roof Material (white styrene) and trace
around interior walls. Cut out and trim to fit as needed.
2. Use corner cut out of Roof Material for Dock Roof (506-11). It is approximately the same
size as the Dock Platform. Test fit and trim as needed. Trim to fit around pilasters.
3. Prime and paint Main Roof and Dock Roof grimy black and set aside to dry.
4. Glue Roof Supports (506-13) in place around interior walls about 1/4" down from
top of Walls
TIPS! Cut small squares of scrap Roof Material and glue to Roof to simulate roof
hatches. Cut scrap Roof Material to add an overhang over entrance door on Wall
(506-1). These are small details that add realism and interest to your building. Paint
details before gluing in place.

Level Building
On thumbtacked piece of 120-grit sandpaper, carefully sand bottom of building in a
circular motion to even out bottom edges so it will sit level on layout.
Paint Building and Details
Airbrush: Use solvent-based, flat finish enamel paint.
Hand-brush: Use water-soluble, flat finish acrylic paint.
Aerosol: Use flat finish spray paint.
We recommend natural brick colors such as rust, tan or other earth tones. Paint door
and window trim the same color as the brick or a contrasting color.
Weathering Tips
Add a realistic mortar-look to brickwork by painting on a concrete mortar wash (for-
mula follows). Using a paintbrush, dab on small amounts of wash until desired look is
achieved. Sponge off excess.
Formula: Mix 1-part acrylic paint (color suggestion: concrete or aged concrete),
12-parts rubbing alcohol, 8-parts water and 1 drop liquid dish soap.
Airbrush: Lightly spray thinned flat black paint (color suggestion: grimy black) to areas
where natural discoloration can occur (near windows, chimneys, etc.).
Chalk: Rub a dark color of pastel chalk (color suggestion: gray, black, brown, etc.) on
sandpaper to create a chalk dust. Using a paintbrush, dab chalk dust where discolor-
ation can occur.
Install Windows
1. Cut Clear Window Material (clear styrene) to size to fit over an entire area of window
openings at one time.
2. Center Window Material over windows on inside of building and carefully dab a small
amount of glue around edges.
3. Repeat for each set of window openings.
Install Roof and Dock
1. Glue Main Roof to Roof Supports (506-13).
2. Glue Dock Platform and Dock Roof in place.
3. Position and glue Chimneys (2x) (506-12) in place where desired.
Finishing Touch
Give your building the illusion of being occupied. Place a piece of black construction
paper diagonally from corner-to-corner inside the building to block the light.
CAUTION: Cutting tools
recommended. Use with care.
ACHTUNG: Schneidwerkzeuge
empfohlen. Mit Vorsicht benutzen.
