The Frame of the Outer Wall (First and Second Floor)
Picture 1 shows the contents of this issue.
Assembling the First Floor & Second Floor Frame.
Take the parts 4 x 2FB-1 and 2 x 2FB-4 as shown in picture 2. Glue one of the four horizontal strips to the two vertical strips as shown in picture 3. Now glue the other three horizontal strips and glue into position, picture 4. As you can see, I have clamped these in place whilst they dry.
Attach the bottom ends of the vertical strips into the notches of the horizontal strip 2FB-1N, picture 5. Now attach the horizontal strip 2FB-1 to the top as shown in picture 6.
Attach the two vertical end strips, 2FB-3 to the right-hand side and 2FB-2 to the right, picture 7.
Retrieve the ground floor assembly you made in the previous issue, along with this assembly, picture 8. Attach the two assemblies together using wood glue, and clamp the two assemblies together whilst drying, picture 9.
Cut three 10mm pins from the dowl supplied in this issue and using wood glue push them in the three holes where the two assemblies join, picture 10.
Using quick drying glue, push the magnets in place on the side of the assembly, ensuring all six, three each side, are pushed in place firmly, picture 11.
Using a kraft knife, separate the corner pieces and sand smooth. Join the longer piece from the bottom and align it to the front edge. Now attach the shorter piece to the remaining frame edge. Repeat this process to the opposite side, picture 12.
Picture 13 shows the complete assembly for this issue.

The Bay Window and Second Floor Window
Picture 1 shows the contents of this issue.
Assembling the Bay Window
Take the horizontal panel and glue both sides of the tabs and push them into the two side panels as shown in picture 2. Make sure the orientation of the two side panels are positioned correctly and that the hole in the horizontal panel is at the front. Fix the support with wood glue into the hole in the second horizontal panel as shown in picture 3. Now glue the two assemblies together, picture 4.
Glue the roof panel in place, pushing it onto the two tabs as shown in picture 5. Make sure the lines on the panel are facing upwards.
Once this assembly has had time to dry, paint the bottom of the window bay and the inside of the window support white. As you can see in picture 6, I have stippled the bay using a washing up sponge and thick paint. Allow this to thoroughly dry.
Using double sided tape, attach the plastic glass to the window as you have done in previous issues, picture 7.
Separate the roof tiles using a kraft knife. Note the tiles are numbered. Place the first row, numbered one to the bottom edge, using wood glue, and work your way to the top in order 2, 3 etc.
Picture 8 shows the complete assembly of the bay window.
Assembling the Window
Take the vertical and horizontal strips and glue them together as shown in picture 9. Make sure the bevelled side of the vertical strips are facing outwards.
The next part of the assembly is quite straight forward. Take the window surround and attach with quick drying glue the lower moulding at the bottom of the surround. Note, it is bevelled, so hold it in place until the glue is set. Next, attach the cornice at the top in the same way, followed by the windowsill to the lower moulding, picture 10.
Paint the inside of the window frame white. I also spray painted the plastic windows white to take away the plastic look, picture 11.
Apply double sided tape to the edges of the window, picture 12. Note the tabs have a bevelled edge. The bevelled edge is the front of the window. You will also notice that the rear of the window has round marks from the manufacturing process, the tape goes this side, picture 13. Take off the protective film on both sides of the plastic glass and stick them to the windows using the double-sided tape. Place the window into the window frame, also picture 13. Attach the window frame assembly to the back of the window surrounds, using quick drying glue, picture 14.
That completes the assembly for this issue.
The last picture shows the Moomins House build so far.
