Hi Jerry, Tom & marty:

Thanks for the compliments. Got a little more done. Roof is on the front addition and the gravel roof is done on the main building.

I really like the wood shingle roof. I need to have a building with that type of roof at some point!

This is one of George's kits I unfortunately never caught up with.

Terrific job so far. I also like the gravel roof- did you apply whatever you used for the gravel with the 3M transfer tape?

[postalkarl]

Hi Mike:

Thanks for the compliment. Here's how I applied the roof

1) Thick black paint from the hardware store.

2) While still wet pour the dirt on. Shake off loose stuff and let it dry.  I believe this is how George does it.

Nice job, Karl. Looking forward to the rest of it.

I have done few roofs that way. Don't use water based paint though or your roof will sag. And don't ask how do I know that  .

Thank fro the compliment. It's not water based paint.  Water tank is finished. Found a nice cast plaster water tank roof in my stuff so I used that.

Here's a photo.
