Assembly Instructions - Venture Partners Building
Equipment:
For glue on wood kits, our personal favorite Aleene's Original Tacky Glue is the best glue ever made for craft projects like this. It doesn't run and gives you plenty of wiggle room for alignment. It also is easier to control and clean up than regular PVA glue. To speed things along during assembly I recommend using hot glue. It is great for reinforcing joints while PVA sets and can easily be removed with rubbing alcohol.
The tape, rubber bands and clamps are just for holding parts as you assemble then and let the glue set. Due to the odd shape, rubber bands are the perfect clamp for holding things in alignment.
- 150-220 grit sand paper
- hobby knife
- PVA, CA glue and/or a Glue gun and glue sticks
- masking tape, rubber bands or clamps
- damp rag or paper towels

The Venture Partners building is designed around a series of oval shaped rings that make up the bulk of the structure. These rings are attached to a pair of vertical supports. The windows on the building are made from pre-cut cardstock. The wooden parts are labeled to make them easier to identify them during assembly.
