B28-MD-017
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.

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 and wooden floors remained unpainted.

The insert panels were all left on the sprue and also sprayed with white car
undercoat.
The stonework panels and flagstone floor were then painted black before being dry-
brushed with grey DIY emulsion paint.

The roof was assembled then we sprayed the entire roof with a black car undercoat spray. Once that had dried we dry-
brushed the whole roof with a various shades of grey DIY household emulsion paint.
