After building the mock-up it was time to head on to the final build. One of the steps I forgot to photograph was assembling the walls, but really it was simple. Each wall has a tab on which glue is applied and used to attach it to the next wall. Take care to keep the walls square and straight and then wait for the glue to dry before applying the bracing.
All of my paper buildings get bracing made from either balsa wood or basswood - whichever I have at the time. My buildings tend to get moved around a lot so the bracing adds much needed strength. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
There's so much void space in the front wall with the doors open, that each door opening needs to be framed, otherwise the whole front wall would bend in.
