BLOTZ B28-OW-105 Assembly Instructions

  • Hello! I've reviewed the instructions for the BLOTZ Saloon B28-OW-105 and I'm ready to assist you. This document details the construction of a 28mm scale Old West Saloon, including the ground and upper floors, roof, interior, exterior, and all the support structures. I can answer questions about the assembly process, parts, and features.
  • What type of glue is required for assembly?
    What tool is needed to remove sections from the sprue?
    Is there a parts list?

28mm Old West Saloon
B28-OW-105
Please read these instructions fully before starting construction.
PVA or equivalent glue will be required to stick sections together.
Sand paper can be used to gently clean any joints.
A sharp modelling knife will be required to remove sections from the sprue. Please use knives with due
care and remember to cut away from yourself at all times.
During the construction of this model, you may find it convenient to use pegs / elastic bands to hold
pieces in place while you allow glue to dry.
A Parts list / directory can be found at the end of these instructions.
You may find it beneficial to mark the back of each piece with its reference number once you have
removed it from the sprue.
Ground Floor
Remove the ground floor base (1), base supports
(2 -> 6) and steps (9 -> 12) from the sprue. Lay
them out as shown above. Note there are holes
in the supports designed to take the lugs on the
steps.
Glue the step bases onto the underside of each of the
step pieces. (8 under 7, 9 under 10 and 12 under 11)
Turn the base over and glue the supports into
position using the lugs/holes provided. Glue the
steps into position. Leave to dry.
Once dry, turn this assembly over.

Remove the ground floor internal walls (13 ->17)
and external walls (18 -> 22) from the sprue. Glue
the internal and external back walls together
(parts 13 & 18), then glue them to the base,
slotting them into the holes provided. Repeat this
for the right wall (parts 14 & 19) and the left
walls (17 & 22).
Repeat this process with the front wall (parts 16 & 21),
then glue the doorway into position (parts 15 & 20).
Note – the swing doors can be either glued into
position, or left hanging from the lugs provided.
Allow this assembly time to dry.
Carefully remove the internal staircase (23) and
steps (24 – 7 pieces) from the sprue.
Apply glue to one end of each step and stick it into the
holes provided in the internal back wall as shown
above.
Apply glue to the open end of each step and
gently using a knife to life each step, insert the
end into the staircase (23) until all have slotted
into position.
To create the supports, remove pieces 25 -> 30 from
the sprue. There are 6 supports with 3 arms (25), 3
supports with a separate left arm (26) and 2 supports
with a separate right arm (28).
B28-OW-105 (Saloon) Page 3
On each support, glue a support base (30) to
each side as shown.
Position the supports for the left side of the building as
shown above. (26 on left and 28 on right)
Position the supports for the front of the building
as shown (28 on right).
Position the supports for the right of the building as
shown (26 on both left and right)
Glue the supports onto the saloon base (there is
a square engraved around each pillars hole). Do
not attach the separate arms at this point.
To add the support rail, start with the back left piece
(31) and run anti-clockwise around the building with
pieces 32 -> 36. The lugs in the tops of the supports fit
into the holes provided. As you attach each rail, glue
the separate arms into position.
Remove pieces for the back stairs from the sprue
(pieces 38 -> 41). Glue the platform (41), side
(37) and back (40) together as shown above.
Once dry, glue the steps (39) into place, then attach
the opposite rail (38). Again, leave to dry.

Allow to dry.
Glue the back stairs into position using the holes
provided in the back wall of the saloon.
Finally add the window sills (42) and windows (43) to
the ground floor. The sills will be a snug fit at the
bottom of the window spaces.

Upstairs
Remove the upper base (44), the four internal
walls (45 -> 48) and four external walls (49 -> 52)
from the sprue. Glue the two back wall sections
(45 & 49) back to back, then put them into
position. Do the same with the right wall pieces
(46 & 50).
Continue working round the structure adding the front
wall (pieces 47 & 51) then left wall (pieces 48 & 52).
This will give you a hollow square structure.
Glue the long wall pieces (53 & 54) back to back,
then into position using the lugs/holes provided.
Ensure the notch in the top of the wall is towards
the front of the building (as shown).
Takes the dividing wall (part 55 x2). Glue them back to
back, then slide them into position (see above).
Glue the left room pieces (56 & 57) back to back,
them put them into position.
Individually add pieces 58 and 59.
B28-OW-105 (Saloon) Page 6
Repeat this for the right hand room using pieces
60 -> 63.
Remove the balcony pieces (64 -> 69) from the sprue
and lay them out around the building as shown.
Starting with the back left piece (64), work round
the building adding the left (65) and front (66)
pieces.
Then position the back right piece (69), right piece (68)
and finally the diagonal (67).
Extract the landing railings from the sprue.
(pieces 70 -> 73).
Glue them into position a shown.
Finally add the window sills (42) and windows
(43) to the upper floor window spaces.
B28-OW-105 (Saloon) Page 7
Roof
Remove the roof base (74). Glue the front pieces
(76 & 79) back to back, then put them into
position. Repeat this for the left wall (75 & 78)
and right wall (77 & 80).
Finally glue the Saloon sign into place.
The three layers sit on top of each other and are
held in position with the lugs in the corners of
each level.
