Step 1

Use sandpaper to adjust the pieces more smoothly.

Step 2

Undercoat: it is highly recommended to paint all pieces before assembling.

Step 3

Use undercoat spray sideways from above for keeping deep shading effets.

Step 4

Paint rust, time and elderly effects.

Step 5

Before applying the glue, do verify if all pieces fit together. Use a thin line of PVA glue on the base of the "door" piece. Glue it on the "floor" at the side of the stair, about 1 mm from the edge.

When it starts drying (2min.), take advantage of the slow-drying glue between the two pieces and apply slight pressure.

Verify the matching pieces (shutters) box-like. Retouche with sandpaper if necessary.

Let it dry for 15 minutes.

Step 6

Once dried, glue (PVA) the pieces "shutters" one by one. Once these are fixed (3-4 min.), glue the back wall.

Let it dry for 20 minutes.

Step 7

All you need to do next is put on the roof and your habitat is ready to play!
