As always - if you intend to paint the model, you should paint all of the parts BEFORE assembly. It's much easier that way. I recommend painting the solid "inner" wall pieces in a creamy white. Then dry brush with browns and a little dull green to make it look dirty. All of the other wooden beams should be in a dark brown, possibly very lightly dry brushed with a mid grey. The interior woodwork can be any kinda dull color. I actually used white here - but that was because I wanted the interior to show up well in photographs!
Locate side walls and glue them together:
Locate the parts for the front wall - and glue them together - place them on a flat surface so they stay flat as the glue sets:
Locate the parts for the back wall and the horse stalls:
The small walls are located in the outer row of holes with the taller ones in the center. If the walls seem not to fit in the holes - swap the left and right walls - they aren't quite identical:
Glue the front wall in place:
Find the three A-frames:
Glue one to the back wall, one to the front wall and one in the center - note that the pegs on the legs of the 'A' fit into holes in the side walls:
Glue the front wall in place:
Glue the roof support beams in place:
Locate the parts of the buckets - and glue them together:
Glue the roof material over the roof timbers - optionally, glue the decorative ends onto the roof plank and glue that on top of the thatch.
