Hey, but the walls should be easy, just 3 bends.....

When making the doors (they actually work!) you can use the base (from later steps) as a guide to how tight to roll the hinges.

Making the double edged base - Useful in making this are Looooong-nosed pliers (Note that the Tamiya Flat pliers have no twisting strength, so get something decent from BURFITT.) Also hand are these jumbo wide bending jaws!!!

I first tried rolling the hinge at the very edge of the door, as per the instructions......

Then I got smart - used the top door frame as a guide, which provided me with the separation of the doors. So I taped them in that position....

Then I tested how the taped doors matched the round base holes.

I needed to un-roll the bottom hinges a bit, so they'd be in the right place..

Then Bung on the Top!! There's 6 locating tabs & eyes - softly softly, catchy monkey!!!

Geez - look who got in there already!!! These pests love my hobby room!!
By the way, my set included all the parts for the interior, (amazing what they can fit in a cardboard sleeve these days) but there's no instructions, and I've been sworn to secrecy about the contents...........!;^)}
