I bought the 28mm European Farmhouse set earlier this year and finally have the time to assemble it. I am a novice at making buildings and could use any tips.
Thanks,

Well, the most important tip is to take your time. Follow the instructions and test fit each piece before gluing. If you have any specific questions, post them here or e-mail me.

Is it better to glue both sides of a wall to foamcore and cut it all at once or to cut each side and the foamcore separately and then glue them together?

I would suggest cutting out ONE side of the wall (just the ruin, of course) and gluing it to a larger piece of foamcore. When dry, trim off the excess and cut out the doors and windows. THEN cut out the other side of the (ruin) wall and glue it to the foamcore. This allows you to cover up any cutting mistakes. Don't glue the unruined walls to foamcore, or they will be too thick to fit down around the ruins.

Do you recommend a particular thickness of foamcore? I was going to use 3/16" for the garden walls and 1/8" for the buildings.

Either one should work. I think I use the 3/16" for both buildings and garden walls, but it's really a matter of personal taste.
