what to apply before assembling

The wood is already finished, if you just wipe it down (pledge wipes or something similar) and then assemble it will be fine. If you have wood floors you might think about round felt foot sliders for the bottom so you won't scratch the floor (available at any hardware store).

If you have never put anything together before, you might want to ask somebody to help you. The directions are there.......but do you have the tools needed.....screw drivers, etc.Good luck.

If I remember right you need three sheets of 3/4 plywood and one sheet of 1/4 plywood. Also about 40' of 1X2 fir. The 3/4 ply should be finished like oak or birtch. A large table saw helps but you can cut all the pieces out with a skill saw. (if you are good at it)

I don't know, but why couldn't you glue styrofoam insulation to the inside before you assemble it

You should let it sit for 20 minutes before pressing the pieces together. It will go from a thick liquid to very tacky during that time. Be careful to get the alignment of the pieces right the first time because it's difficult to get them apart after they've been pressed together.

I received the kit and it was well laid out and the instructions were very clear. Unfortunately, I never finished putting it together so I probably can't provide much more information - good luck!

Follow the instructions. It will take a while to assemble. My kids were pacing and impatient bit it got done. Just take it step by step.

Hammer and Phillips and a drill if have one. If you use one be careful because it's cheap partical board.

Take your time and study the parts a bit before starting. There are some gotchas possible but I was able to put it together in about 30 minutes.

Hi Ashley, should not take more than a couple of hours. The instructions are average in terms of clarity. Lay your pieces out ahead of time and it will go smoothly. All the parts arrived safely. Nothing broken or missing. Best thing to do with all assemblies is take your time.

Sorry I do not remember the details. However I followed the instructions step by step and I had no issues with assembling it.

Have a helper available when you start to hold things together while you put bolts and screws in, then just use youh common sense to overcome the lousy directions. There's no magic, just patience.

My son put the top on for me...he says all you need are muscles and a screw driver. Some of the pieces fit tightly, as they should, and strength is required to fit them over their frame. As has already been mentioned, let it sit outside on a warm sunny day before installation.

You'll need wood glue, an exacto knife, and some pins. I also find it helpful to have a wood board to work on.

If you're new to model building, I suggest 10 and above with some adult supervision. There is some painting and gluing involved. Model glue can be messy.
