Victorian Townhouse

Lay the front wall flat on the table, engraved side up, and work from the bottom up. The two ground floor windows go on first: sill, vellum, frame, hood, then the pediment in the hood's front slots. Each window goes on the same way, as shown above.

Push the door step's two end tabs into their pair of slots near the bottom of the wall, between the two windows. Lay the door's vellum against the step and set the door over it, its bottom tabs in the step's notches. Then press the deep door hood on over the door's top tabs: it is the balcony floor. Push it all the way home before the next step.

Lay the balcony doors' vellum on the wall with its bottom edge on the balcony floor, then drop the balcony doors into the floor's back notches. Press their hood on over the doors' top tabs and stand the pediment in its front slots. Then push the railing into the balcony floor's front slots.

The two upstairs windows go on the same way as the ground floor ones.

This one starts under the sill: push your name board up into the sill's two front slots first, then push the sill's end tabs into the wall. Then the vellum, the frame, the hood and the snow cap, as usual.

Lay the floor flat, tealight opening in the middle. Stand the front wall on the floor's front edge, door facing out, and slide it in so its bottom tabs drop into the floor's notches.

The right side wall slides in from its side and meets the front wall at the corner. The corner tabs mesh like fingers: work them together a little at a time.

The back wall slides in from the back and locks into the right side wall the same way.

The left side wall slides in from its side and finishes the box. It meets two walls at once: seat one corner, then the other.

The left roof panel goes on first (the one without the chimney slots). Its slots drop over the tabs along the tops of the front and back walls.

Then the right panel. Its top edge runs on past the ridge and laps over the top of the left panel, so the ridge closes tight with no gap for the light.

Build the chimney off the house first. Start with the tall wall, then slide the two angled side walls in from the sides, brick faces out, sloped edges toward the bottom. Slide the short wall in to close the box. Then set the chimney on the roof: its tabs go into the roof slots and the sloped edges sit flat on the roof.

Push each bargeboard half's tabs up into the row of slots near the front edge of the roof. The two halves meet at the peak.
