QuoteThat's quite an update.  Ever since you explained how you do the metal ridge peak flashing I have been impressed with how realistic it looks.  Taking the time to do it in a way that duplicated the prototype makes such a difference in the impact of your modeling.  I really like how the shingled roof came out.  I've never been quite satisfied with how my roofs with the Campbell shingles look, I'll have to try your method.

Thanks, Jerry.

I use a toothpick to meld the tin foil into the undulations of the iron.

I find the combination of double sided tape and canopy glue makes getting the shingles straight easy.  Troels Kirk's painting method is pretty foolproof.  If you go too far you can always bring things back with some more blackish brown.

Cheers, Mark.

Hello Mark, I'm very impressed with all of the progress you are making on this very interesting complex. I realy liked the walkovers- some fine modeling there

Great modeling here, my friend. I agree, the ridge cap is perfect.
