In principle I had have the same idea. But we have a battlefield where we have to place our buildings each time new before we start and after our meetings we take the buildings back in our container.
But I think generally would it be possible...

At the roof of the house it goes on; the roof skin was completed.
The gable sides were the next step, a strut was glued under the rafters.
The resulting areas were with little boards covered.

As next was my prepared cornice glued to the walls.
My selected masonry measure fits super…
For a better rigidity receive my House a ceiling plate and…

As next I took care of my door. They will be without function but should be a decent dummy.
The door boards were glued on the prepared door frame and thereafter preserved.
By the way were other walls plastered,...
…also insides of the power exits receive a coat from construction adhesive.
After drying were the walls with white acrylic painted; first inside.
The finished inner frame of my roof
The roof receives again a cover from roof cardboard - as at my barn roof. This has proven itself well in the meantime.
Little clamps hold the tracks together and by the way guaranteed this hang down at the sides.
And – by the way were further insulators produced.
For today that’s all.

This is very interesting. What did you put in the building walls? Concrete? I mean, that thing that is placed between bricks in the buildings?

I don't know what you mean concrete. The coat on the wall is made of tile glue; between the bricks comes later nothing else as paint.

Finishing of my roof is the next step on my plan; again were black acrylic paint used.
Further at the door and the door handle set. A door handle from brass was sold to a piece thread rod M2.
The blende was glued, the handle with thread rod with two nuts out- and inside fixed.
Okay for a dummy,…
…but the key hole was still drilled out.
As last were door bands produced; again were rests from etched parts used. The counterparts were bend from steel wire.
As next were all parts mounted…
Here a closer view to the door handle set.

In the next step receive the windows their glasses from transparent plastic film,…
…here always glued.
Thereafter were the windows permanent mounted; glued with transparent Latex. The equal work at the door.
A bit work at my bricks is still remaining; they receive a dark red colour.
The big insulators were mounted into the niches. As last were the masonry joints in grey coloured.
In the process I've made the experience, that the fugues don't have to be so deep, a little fugue is okay – for the next time.
In conclusion still two views …
Next part soon…
