Model construction
The construction instructions in the kit are usually illustrated, without text. With a slow and careful step-by-step procedure, even an adult beginner can handle the construction of this model. First, carefully study the model construction instructions and check the completeness of the kit. Prepare a workbench, tools (tweezers, model knife, pry bar, various brushes), glue and paints. It is advisable to prepare a small box where you can put the finished building groups while the glue dries. Separate the parts from the frame with sharp plastic cutters or a sharp model knife. Be careful not to let the part fall off and get lost. Always separate from the frame only the part that you will use immediately. Apply glue only in the smallest amount necessary and only to the contact surfaces of the parts. The cleaner your work is, the more beautiful the result will be. Do not rush when building, it is usually better to let the glue dry thoroughly, even if it is until the next day.

Painting the model (if necessary)
Use special model paints, you usually achieve the best result with them. Before painting, it is a good idea to thoroughly degrease the surface of the model. It is a good idea to paint some small parts directly in the frame before you separate them from the frame. Use a thin pointed brush to paint small parts. Use a wide flat brush to paint large areas of the model. For a more beautiful appearance of the model, we recommend using model spray paint or a model spray gun when painting larger areas. The result is always better than a surface painted with a brush. Always let the individual colors dry well, this will prevent you from ruining the entire model just because you are impatient.

Lighting
Every building can be enlivened by installing lighting. Most often, ready-made LED lighting sets are used. Most building kits include paper interior walls, which serve to shade the rooms so that light does not shine through the plastic walls. More experienced modelers can adjust the interior of the house so that only some windows are lit. Alternatively, using additional electronics, alternating lighting of different windows or imitation of a turned-on television can be achieved.
