Accudentally deleted some pix, so we fast-forward past applying the roofing material. I use BEST roofing strips battered and distressed with a sanding stick.

Had to attach the darkroom prior to mounting the roof. Anyone with photo experience knows a darkroom needs good ventilation, so I drilled a few holes for roof-mounted fixtures, gave it an inkahol wash, and installed.

Oh...first added internal bracing to prevent future sagging. The roof, not me. That train left the station. 🤪

Dave,

Are you trying to tell us that you have some special anti-aging DNA? 

I have been following (even though I haven't commented for a while) and it is going together very nicely, like your color combo, and the contrast between the store front and the rear addition.  Adding lots of ventilation for the darkroom is a nice touch of realism.

[Dave K.]

Thanks, Jerry...feels good to be back at it after a week AWOL.

Scribed siding for the ceiling of the entryway.

By the way, if I don't include text with a pic it doesn't let me post, yet I've seen others do it. Is there a bypass?

[Dave K.]

Roof is heavy illustration board.

Weighting (and waiting) on the roof.

Two cornice pieces ...

Waiting for the cornice caps to dry...adding rear bump-out.

Really nice modeling.

It's good to see you back at your workbench - it should be very therapeutic after the week you just had. The build looks great.

[Dave K.]

Thanks for stopping in, John. I'm just fine...feel badly for Gabby, my student, though. Your tower is coming along beautifully... looking forward to more interior pix!👍🏻

[Dave K.]

Can't say enough about how much I'm enjoying this build. Many thanks to Doug for a great kit! I finally got around to ordering this one...
