Thanks, guys.  Here's the building with the roof on.  Need to touch up the trim edges and get that dried glue glob off the roof.  :o

Next up are the dormers.  You know they're futzy when they take up more than a whole column on the instructions.   :P The bottom edge of the front piece needs to be sanded to match the roof angle.  Then the side pieces put on to match, and then their tops sanded to match the dormer roof.  Only two of them came apart while sanding.  Put in the windows.  Glue on roof.

The instructions then say to paint the roof, to match the main roof and add a tarpaper strip on the stop.  I just used tarpaper on the dormer roofs.  Here's the angle irons helping hold the roofs on the dormers.  I should get some small baggies to put the ballast I use for smaller roof weights.   ::)

Remember to leave the roof strips slightly long on the back, or they won't touch the roof (I did this on a previous build and actually remembered to do it here.  I added black paper behind the windows so they can't be seen through.  Her's one installed/roofed dormer.  Three to go.  Then they need some trim put on...

This looks really good, Jeff.  I like the textured look of the roof paper.  Looks real.

Thanks for looking in, guys.  The roof is finished.  Trim around the bases of the dormers.  The instructions note just using tar around the front of the dormer, and trim on the sides.  I thought it would look better with trim all around.
