I have constructed this Intentio kit for a GWR Pagoda kit to assist others and also act as review. As usual with this manufacturer, the parts were a precision fit. Below is a real one...
I first of all built the basic internal box on the floor provided using UHU Wood Glue from a tube...
Before the walls had set, I placed the ceiling in position (BUT NOT GLUED) just to ensure everything would fit together again once it had been removed later on...
The roof spine was assembled and the PVA glue left to partially set for 5 minutes...
Then the roof spine was glued into the slots in the ceiling...
Then followed the four corners struts...
The corrugated skin was glued to the front of the building with Evostik Impact and pressed into position while the glue was wet to allow for movement. It is vital at this stage to ensure this skin lines up perfectly with the top and bottom of the building and the window apertures...
Using the same process, follow this with the two end walls...
.....And finally the back wall. This corrugated card is precision cut and will line up perfectly at the corner...
