I assume you are talking about soldering the tubes onto the cells? Because soldering the plugs onto the wires is pretty straightforward.

First thing you need is a powerful iron with a big tip. 60W+ makes it a lot easier.

Second thing to do is to tin the cell and the tube.

Third thing to do is to hold the tinned areas together (long nose pliers and a battery jig is a good combo) and apply the iron to the tube until the two tinned areas flow together for a nice strong joint.

It is a little easier to assemble, and fits into some cars better, if you use L-shaped bars on the cells - like these...

Or, if you don't want to solder any corally tubes, try these...
