Model construction
The construction instructions in the construction kit are usually illustrated. With a slow and careful step-by-step procedure, even a beginner can handle the construction of this model. First, carefully study the construction instructions and check the completeness of the construction kit. Prepare a workbench, tools (tweezers, model knife, cutting pliers) and glue. 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 cutting pliers 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 only the smallest amount of glue necessary 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.

Coloring the model
House building kits are usually made of colored plastic parts, so painting with model paints is not necessary. However, if you want to change the color of the house, use special model paints. You will usually achieve the best results 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 separating 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 the model from being ruined just because of impatience.
