A little before you begin
The front and rear openings use window frames. They stay open, with no hinged door.
Count studs to check gaps and overhangs. New pieces keep their colour; earlier pieces look lighter. Before you build →
A LITTLE PREPARATION
Gather your pieces
Match the shapes and quantities. The pictures show our colours. Colour names in the steps refer to the pictures; keep useful contrasts, such as a light belly against a dark body.
