Not going to be a quick build
I made a start on this a few days after delivery If looking for a quick fit part A to part B model this is not for you It needs a good read of the instructions and diagrams. These are a little brief and a bit of thought about how you will approach the assembly is needed. Not just for each section but how they all fit together as a whole This is fine by me and I enjoy a challenge. There are a number of videos of this and other matchstick modes which are worth a look, especially, if it has been a while since last making a match craft model. Not sure I particularly like the windows and shutters. These are just printed card. However, there is a good source on the internet of ideas for dolls house and model building windows. I shall try out a few potential solutions while waiting for glue to dry. My wife has been briefed not to disturb me in my ‘cave’ unless it is with a fresh cup of tea and not to expect to see much of me until the spring!

Lovely project
Tricky little kit to get your brain active, I actually bought this to keep my mom busy during lock down, she is 81 and managed to complete it, she really enjoyed doing it. I did buy her a match cutter to go with the kit and would recommend that you do the same, it's not the easiest of kits for beginners but brings a lot of satisfaction when finished, my mom has since completed 3 other kits.

Loved it.
Fiddly, but very worth it. I painted mine when it was finished, and made my own doors and windows as I didn't like the stickers that came with it. Word of advice, get a matchstick cutter at the same time. I didn't, and about halfway through I had to leave it alone for a few days so my hand could heal from the damage of cutting the matchsticks with a craft knife.

I have only just started on the model
It is easier enough but a matchstick cutter is needed.
