Sarissa Ghost Town Buildings

4ground - Take your time, go through instructions, then dry fit 1st before gluing each stage.  Also check to see what may be coming at other stages, as it can have an effect on how you do each stage.

Some parts are very fragile, door hinge panels etc. 

Use either Super Glue or PVA.  But remember the glue has a thickness and so may, I say may, effect the fit of some parts.  Use elastic bands and bulldog clips.

The edges of all laser cut parts are not square, when the laser cuts it has a V shape profile.  This can effect how well things sit.  Use a 90 degree piece of scrap to keep things at 90 degrees.  Just means that if other parts, walls and floors are to 'slide' or fit in they will have a better chance.

If still not sure, buy a really low cost kit from anyone who catches your interest.  I would shout for Sarissa.

Its no more complicated that a plastic kit.

Very nice, Deedles.

Thanks for the suggestion about TTCombat, GarrisonMiniatures.  I quite like the pack of accessories they have.

Gary is right, Harry.  Look at the steps carefully.  I've also found that my tendency to want to do the outer walls first then the inner walls after the outer walls dry doesn't fly well.  Do them in the same sitting so that you can push out the outer walls a smidge to fit the inner walls snugly before the corner glue dries.  Keep a damp washcloth handy to get the glue off your fingers between steps.  If you have cats, lock them out of the room while you're working.  I expect that the same rule holds true for toddlers and dogs, to be honest.

They offer you some alternatives on windows and places where the adobe/plaster is peeling.  Think carefully about how you want to present your office before you punch those pieces out.

Arrows are yellow where you glue bits together and red where you don't want to glue.  Don't be like me and try to jump ahead of yourself or you may accidentally glue something you don't want to glue.

I find my gluing jig (from Micro Mark) to be very helpful.

Patience is a virtue and good music can also be helpful.  

Edited to correct grammar and add the gluing jig thing.
