I meant to get to this sooner, but that real life thing got in the way. This model and the apothecary do not have instructions and the photos of the finished build are quite small, so of little help. These had been available at Desktop Wargaming, desktopwargames.com/sample-page/, Johan's site, johankruger.info/paper-models-set-1/, and formerly at www.miniature-games.com, where I originally met Johan. I wish he'd come back... Downloads are now only available at the second link. Last night I spent some time looking at the various sites in Wayback Machine, trying to pull up photos, studying the templates, and adjusting the window hue and contrast to make them stand out a little more. Printed off this morning before work. I believe that this had instructions at one time, going back to when Johan was selling pre-printed models. There are tabs with alphabetical and numerical labels. Other labels also hint at references to instructions, but without them, I don't see any big problems, especially after I realized how areas to be removed are marked, and visualized how the parts are intended to fit.  And yes, GrayC photobombed me |

 I like my buildings to be based. Usually I mount bases to notepad backing. If I had seen this image first, I wouldn't have done the piece marked 'Top Floor'. Oh, well.  Starting with the big parts, cut out the top and lower floor walls, the roof, the shed ceiling, etc. after scoring each page, cut out and edged. I always try to have the parts creased to where they will almost stay in place before gluing. Oops, PostImage hates me now, giving me an 'Unknown Error' message. I'll try to post photos later |

  Well, it seems that it is limiting me to two images before it hates me. The back wall and shed walls were folded in error, but I think it's fixable, as shown in the third image that won't post. As the roof overhangs the building, I used brown marker on the eaves. |

  The first image is the fixed back wall. The second is the first real puzzler. The display window. Just by looking at the parts, I thought the exterior part would slide into the window hole, and then the interior box would slide in from the back. Only the outer frame appears to be larger than the hole. We'll see, but not tonight. I've got the shed under-roof gluing in between books, and until it is set, I can't glue up the upper story. Until I get the window figured out, I can't finish boxing in the ground floor. Time for bed, methinks. I hope you find this helpful, corporal |

As, I suspected, the display box does not fit into the window opening much less into the bay window. I had to dry fit it at lunch time...
Sorry, no photos, as PostImage hates me again today... It used to be a great platform for sharing images. Maybe their IT guys will get the latest Java update and it will work consistently again
I'm not going to print out a whole page to get the display box re-sized, so I'm using a brown marker inside the bay window and mounting the box to one side of the bay window and the bottom window opening tab. As shown in another photo that I hope will post later ...
Okay, it takes images now, if I reduce them.
Johan included a lot of little detail pieces, so I put a shield and sword in the display box before gluing it in. I glued the bay window in with the side window hole tabs glued flat and the bay window tabs glued to the wall. Edge glued the box in place and closed off the walls, gluing to the base. Next step is the fireplace/hearth and the shed supports after that

Eh, figured I might as well do the anvil, or I'd probably not get back to it  |

If you decide to build it, I hope this walk-thru helps
