Building the Foxhall


Building the Foxhall - Kit # MP-600 and SP-600 These pictures support and augment the instructions, but they are not a replacement!

The MP-600 (milled plywood) and the SP-600 (smooth plywood) have some differences that must be kept in mind as you follow these demos This collection is under construction.

			This may be the most important step in building a dollhouse. The builder is reading the instructions and trying the pieces (touching the parts!). This step is valuable for becoming familiar with the parts, for getting the parts grouped in assembly order, and for figuring out the painting plan. Skipping this step is a mistake for beginners and experienced builders alike
