Instructions for Kit #JM-4600
Sand everything until the paint is smooth and transparent with
the wood showing thru. Sand the clapboard one course at a time,
with a folded piece of sandpaper. After a few courses, refold the
sandpaper to keep the cutting action fresh.
C. Build the Front Steps after the first-coat and sanding.
1. Glue together the Front Step, Bottom and the Front Step, Top, lined up in back.
Glue on the Buttresses, also lined up in back. This is now the "Front Step Base".
2. Second-coat the Front Step Base and Treads. If you intend to texture-paint the Front Step
Base, wait until the Treads are attached, and texture-paint close-to but not touching the Treads.
Texture Paint: For the foundations and anywhere else a textured surface is desired, base coat
the surface with plain paint and second-coat with a mixture of paint and "Real Good Toys'
Stucco Grit (www.realgoodtoys.com or your miniature store).
Mix the Stucco Grit with paint and apply in slaps or short swirls
(One Butterss is
removed to show
parts orientation)

Re-paint. The second coat goes on smoooth and creamy, with pleanty
of paint (but no puddles). Sometimes a third coat is necessary.
Do not second-coat Window Frames or Railing parts until they are
glued together later on. Most interior painting should be second-coated
after assembly.
