After an excellent weekend with 'Fen End Pit' at the Southwold exhibition I came back and spent a few more hours on the PC producing the drawings for the roofs and chimneys of the test station building. No matter how hard I try to sort out the angles of hipped roofs by being mathematical I'm always surprised when they fit, more often than not after a bit of 'adjustment'.

The chimneys are cut from 1mm MDF and fitted together quite well. I'm less convinced about making 'interlocking' brickwork than I was originally but it seemed the right approach for these as I wanted some strength in them. The built out sections which fit horizontally around the main chimney worked particularly well.

The fit will be better once I have the slates and the flashing in place but you get the idea.

I also fitted the remaining windows into the building and with these in and roof on I think it is coming together quite nicely.
