Follow instructions in the kit to make them. I recommend using a hobby knife (I use an X-Acto medium duty) to cut the pieces from the trees. Trim all flash (extra plastic left from casting) away, and paint the desired pieces. I recommend painting the smaller pieces while they're still on the tree, to avoid painting your fingers. Use the thinner glue that comes in a cubical glass bottle, which has a brush included. Only use a SMALL amount, as extra will make the connection a mess, not stronger. The glue that comes in a tube isn't the same, but it will work. The only difference is the absence of the handy brush and the thickness of the glue.

• 2: Glue the walls to the base, and add the roof
