CCK Doc Koontz Build

[ACL1504]

The tabs fit into the slots on part "B".



The next photo shows the lower bay window wall glued into part "B".

There are three arrows and two "X". No glue is to be applied to the "X" area as those slots share another part that fits on top of "B".

This next photo shows the top of "B". You can see there is space for the other tab.



I then made a test fit for the next part that fits on top of "B" as explained in a post above.



Once satisfied with the fit, I glued the part to the top of "B".



Done for today.

This morning I got a little more done on the bay windows.

When building the windows, all the parts fit together like a gig-saw puzzle. However, the pieces can't be laid flat and assembled.

I've studied the diagram for hours in order to make sense of how to best put them together. This is certainly no reflection on the kit manufacturer. I'm looking for a way to do it, make it look neat, with the best possible outcome and have it appear as if it just wasn't thrown together.

In studying the diagram, I've noticed some of the parts are shown out of order. I'll point them out as I go along on the build.

Also, I've come up with some suggestions on how to make this build easier when building it out of the box.

Its easy to get frustrated in this build, but be patience as it will pay off in a fine looking model.

After building the lower portion of the windows. I made a test fit on the front wall.

NOTE: The larger window frames are not glued to the lower portion.



I used a metal ruler and cut out the two parts that the laser forgot to cut.
