Now where was I with this build..

 

Oh yes now I remember, I was test fitting the roof panels..

 

With them test fitted & trimmed where needed, I painted the interior surfaces (off white), fitted the roof sky lights, chimneys and made up the clerestory sections.

Next up, I added some exterior trim and installed the interior lighting.

Before I installed the exterior lamps, I decided to get the exterior painted, scratch build an internal storage area (to hide the wiring loom) and glue the roof panels on the rear shed.

At this point my neck decided to play up, so I got on with some smaller projects and a few bits for the shed interior.

With my neck behaving itself, I got on with installing the exterior lighting, finishing of the interior storage area and gluing the remaining main roof panels in place.

Now for the real mojo breaker - tiling the roof(s)..

 

Creating a central gutter using PVA.

After several coats of PVA, I could start to add the courses of slates/tiles..

With two roof sections done, I waved the white flag for the Bank Holiday Weekend.

Till the next (and hopefully final) part.

Those machine tools look really good. My grandfather was a design draftsman in a small engineering firm, and they remind me, as a young lad, of being shown round the factory where he worked.

The interior shot of the shed looks very realistic.

Really agree with railroadbill, I love the workbenches and tools. The shed looks great too.
