The most finnicky part of this build was cutting open the shutters for each window (20 each), then cutting out each of the window inserts and gluing them in pace. The second challenge was gluing the side walls to the ends such that you formed the overhanging portion of the side walls correctly. I'm really glad though that I went through with the build which took about 6.5 hours total over two days.

Welll, it has been a l-o-n-g time since I posted a paper building project! I bought this Spielhaus (play house) back around 1989 or 1990 while still stationed in Germany. As a fatter-of-mact, I bought a bunch of paper models that are still waiting to be built! For the past umpteen years though, I kept telling myself that 'this was the year to build the kit'. Too many years passed until a couple of weeks ago when finally getting off my keester and assembling this. It's a nice addition to our teeny-tiny Christmas train layout (which will be posted in the coming days).
The house measures 10" (25.4cm) W at the base x 4.75" (12.06cm) D x 13" (33.02cm) H. Normally I brace the interior with stripwood but haven't gotten around to doing that yet. Tomorrow I'll post photos of what the house looks like with all the shutters open.
