Slotcar Stuff -> Pit Garage assembly

Notes.

Lay out the pieces and get used to what goes where. I found it easier to apply an undercoat to all parts before painting and sand down the edges a little to get rid of the laser burned wood on the edges. This makes it easier to paint.

For the engraved pits, paint first and then scratch out the grooves a little with a sharp object to add the depth.

Depending on your choice of colors and complexity it may be easier to paint the interior first, assemble and then mask and paint the outside.

Glue the parts together with a cold wood glue, wipe off the excess glue with a damp cloth.

If anything is not 100% clear, send me (Wayne) a whatsapp to clarify. I am more than happy to guide you.

Most important… HAVE FUN!

Part 1 – Identify the parts.

Step 1. Front wall and upper floor.

NB : Note the rotation of the floor relative to the building side. The short indent should be to the front of the building.

Step 2. Add the garage sides to the front wall.

Step 3. Add the floor and rear door.

Step 4. Add the upper deck front wall and handrail.

Step 5. Add the roof and the upper sign board.

Step 6. Note the roof overhangs and join each garage to each other, with the left and right ones on the correct side.
