Don’t use epoxy. It’s styrene. Use a styrene adhesive or MEK. It’s way faster and welds it together as one piece. I think the directions say to build horizontally and then add courses vertically. As long as you start with a flat bottom you can kinda go up in any manner you want. I tend to do the opposite and build vertically so I can get the columns in line. You gotta get the edge of the bricks in line vertically not the panel edges. Once your first vertical is lined up, the rest of the wall should go fairly easily. Sometimes there is variation in the width of the gluing flange. I would build full walls before joining corners.
File the tops and bottoms so they’re flat and smooth. The sides, take the flash off of them. They don’t touch each other when you join them with the columns. Always glue against a metal ruler or a level so you’re straight.
The columns can be longer than the floors. It is better to get the top of the column right and file the excess off the bottom.
Have lots of angle blocks or 1 2 3 blocks on hand to keep everything square when you assemble it. Long walls probably need bracing to keep them flat.
