*What you will need...
While everything is provided for you to build your model, clearly you will need to provide your own tools and finishing products. A suggested list of items can be found below...
- tools, such as craft knife, pencil, ruler, paint brushes.
- PVA (wood) glue and ‘Superglue’, especially the latter (Roket Max from DeLuxe Materials is recommended)
- material to create the textured surface on the outside of your house, e.g. powder filler, and possibly a stencil if you choose to replicate bricks (obtainable from, for example, Bromley Crafts).
