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 build this model. First, carefully study the building instructions and check that the kit is complete. 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 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 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 coloring 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.

House lighting
Every house can be greatly enhanced by installing lighting. Ready-made LED lighting sets are most often used. Most house kits include paper interior walls that are used 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 of the windows are lit. Alternatively, using additional electronics, alternating lighting of different windows or imitation of a turned-on television can be achieved.
