Ready to be assembled using woodglue or similar (glue not supplied). Attach handles with superglue. The kit is not painted and paint is not supplied.
This large and relatively easy kit is very pretty and once painted can be transformed into a simply beautiful miniature. You could omit the doors if you wanted more display, this would mean you could easily see into the open shelves.
The parts are created with location pegs/holes which fit beautifully together making the construction easy. The instructions are suitable for all languages as they come in drawn graphic format. Please see the images. You will receive a set of these with your model.
When you receive the kit the parts required to make the model will be held in place in sheets of mdf by little tiny "tabs". To remove them you simply push them out of the sheet. When you remove the parts the pegs leave a slight raised area (nodule). These can be left or can be removed by sanding. There are not many pegs per section so the task is easy and quick.
GLUE
I prefer to use a wood type glue to assemble the MDF kits. At the moment I am very happy with "Canopy Glue" by Deluxe. It is nice and thick with a high grip and fast drying but a good quality wood glue is fine. I would not recommend superglue to the model although it can be useful where you have a tricky small section to glue such as the curved top.
PAINTING/FINISHING
There is a video on my site showing you how to achieve the same finish you see in the photos.
I prefer to paint my work with a spray primer. This ensures a good adhesion between paint and painted surface. You can then apply a spray finish or brush painted finish.
In the example shown I use a primer and a very pale cream and then aged it with a mix of Raw umber/white acrylic and sand back the paint to reveal the MDF below.
You could line the shelves and back with printed paper .
For the internal finish I sprayed it the same soft cream colour then overpainted this with a mid blue that I mixed myself. This was then sanded back to reveal the cream and then the whole area was painted with a mix of Annie Sloane Dark Wax (nutty brown colour - no red hue) and a Liming wax which was wiped away.
