Hitting the Roof!

Hi All

 

 

This is my first venture, of modifying a card kit. I am finding working with Rocket Card Glue really easy.

Today I have finished the back of the building, which will be against the back scene. The slot in the back, is to allow for a block, which strengthens the back scene, as there will be an opening for trains coming from the Dairy Yard, next to the building.

It is my intention, to give the roofs, a slight 3D feel, by adding tiles, made from very thin paper, Pendon style and hence the sloping roof finishes flush with the virtual walls.

The paper tiles, will slightly overlap the walls, and a thin paper barge board will be added to complete, the roof. The only extra that will then need to be added will be the down pipes.

Neat work Lisa. The design of the roof is a little unusual creating a valley between the two parts always a source of concern. There should be a lead lined gully to carry the water away.

I knew about the lead flashing, as I have had it replaced at the join between the porch and the house recently. I was considering using a soft pencil to give the metallic look.
