Pola #150 "burned house".
In this
article I show the making of a simple structure kit, in
this case a Pola structure. |
|
|
With the
aid of the instructions, we check to make sure that no
parts are missing. |
With a
knife, or better yet, with a special side cutter as shown
on the picture, we remove the parts. |
|
After the parts have been removed, check them for a proper fit, they may require some attention. The walls will be made first. We can new glue the windows and doors with plastic glue. |
|
Be
careful and use only a small amount of glue on the
inside, since the glue will leave marks on the outside,
if spilled. |
|
The walls can be glued together. Pay attention to the order and make sure they are not upside down. Study the instructions carefully. I always glue two walls and then the two corners together. Sometimes the photo on the box can be a guide. |
|
|
|
|
When the
four walls are finished, they are glued to the bottom. |
The roof
on this structure is burned, and therefore the interior
walls are visible. |
|
The
inside from the outside walls, the inside walls and the
floor are covered with this paper. |
|
| It looks
pretty, but... The model is a burned house, so in reality would the wall covering and paintings not be burned as well? This is something that I do later, this article describe the building out of the box, no modification of any kind. The ceiling, or the floor of the attic, can new be glued on to the second floor. There is enough room left to make any changes to the interior later. We also glue the last outside walls. The model is almost finished. |
|
|
|
Finally we install the chimney and the roof tiles. The model is new finished. This is the front. Pola included some interior parts, like wardrobes, a bed, but they really need some painting. I didn't install them yet, I wait until I paint them later. |

|
This is the model from the back. |
And a birds eye view, from the top. |
