I painted a .015 x .030 strip on-edge the trim color, then sandwiched that between .015 x .030 unpainted (white) strip on the bottom and .015 x .040 strip on the white.  The total trim is .085.  I edge-glued that to the roof, and added .080 square bracing on the porch roof.  This needs some paint touch-up.

Then I added the pillars, glued to the porch foundation.  The roof is still removable, so I can finish the interior and add lighting before tackling the gable roof.

I think I might drill peg holes from the floor and ceiling into the pillars, to make them more sturdy.

Hey Dave:

Beautiful job on this one as usual

I found a package of old Precision Lasercraft self-stick light grey wood shingles.  After a bit of drybrushing, they're good to go. 

Then I constructed the gable ends ('shiplap' for the front and clapboard for the back), including nibbling out the slot for the roof panel's bracing, and glued them into place.

Finally, I glued one of the roof panels.  I'll let that dry thoroughly and then attach the other.

Some paint touch-up to do, but this is basically done.

I hope Tom will accept this for the Tapahoe, after all the Judge needs a place to work!

Very nice.  The scroll detail really adds to the look.  Nice interior as well.

Looking at the interior, the only thing missing seems to be the Judge's filing system for all of the humorous quotations tales he regales us with. Shudder to think they may all be from memory.
Working on my second million. I gave up on the first.

There's lots of room to store old issues of Railroad magazine underneath the bench.

It's hard to get the phone camera exposure right, but you can see a bit of the interior in the lit building.  There's some significant light bleed through the styrene, but overall I don't think it's too offensive.

I do like the light from the windows shining on the porch floor.
