Assembling the Crenellated Buildings

To assemble the crenellated buildings, cut out the main building piece and fold it along the center line of the top crenellations where marked. If you want, you can use a craft knife to cut out the white sections on the crenellations to make them more realistic. Or you can use scissors and follow the method given in the previous step.

Fold the Sides When the crenellations are cut (and glued) fold the building sides along the fold lines marked on each building to get the four sides. Crease them sharply, especially where they are doubled at the row of crenellations.

Fold and Glue the Roof

Fold the top tab and roof inside and glue them to each other, then glue the final side to the side tab to hold the building in shape.

Fitting the Towers Together or to Other Buildings

You may need to trim the crenellated balcony edge on one side to fit it under the roof of the smaller cottages if you wish to glue them together. The buildings can be secured to a base (see the landscaping instructions for basic houses) or to a lower level by means of the tabs at the base of the tower sections.
