Use dots of hot glue to hold pieces together. Then lather on the Weldbond. Then after drying overnight, go back and hot glue weld like fillets in all 90 degree corners. When done, use two hands to pick up or slide a piece of cardboard under. Once it is one your layout it should be fine. I recently stepped on a pre built Lionel single stall shed after weathering it. Dumb I know, but it just popped apart and did not break. It was all hot glue. If it had been the one that I built from kit, it would of broken the plastic. No sense in making the bonds stronger than the substrate.

You may find that additional backing at seams with 1/4" x1/4" bass wood applied with super glue may provide structural integrity.   A good model base is also important with a longer/larger model.
These Korber 304 wall panels once fitted will gain additional support from 1/4" X 1/4" wood.








A few well place Atlas track screws also add.


The roof panels will also add strength
