I'm glad you have it all figured out and I had no doubt you wouldn't find a path.
I'll be looking forward to how you proceed with this build.

Rich,

Thank you for following along. I'm anxious to get started.

One of the first things I did was to make sure the wall tabs fit easily into the base slots.

Once the walls are stained and painted, I'll do another test fit. 



The gaps between the walls is where a corner trim.

You can see from this top view just how narrow the building appears.



There is a very thin floor section that will be glued to the base.

I made a test fit with the base and all slot openings are clear.



I stained the floor with Floquii Oak Flo-Stain.

I painted the sidewalk with Floquil Aged Concrete.



Here is the concrete base and the oak stained floor section. Not yet glued together.



Done for today.

Nice work so far Tom.
That sure looks like a tiny interior.

Nice start Tom.
That is a skinny floor for sure!

Tom, you've got a nice base ready to build on.

Howdy Tom, Floquil aged concrete paint is my favorite for concrete. Nice work on the base. Have fun, mike

Tom,

I don't know how I missed this thread but I'm glad I found it.

You are off to a great start on the kit.  The concrete colour looks great.  Looking forward to the next update.

Rich,

Thank you and yes, the interior is small. I won't attempt to add details.
