This is why we take pictures during the build.  Notice the roof moldings on the dormers.  How could I not see that when I was putting them on. Looked good from the front.  I have already removed them and fixed the problem.

John, I am sure this has appeared multiple times before but could you say who makes those shingles? I really like them.

I will post the website tomorrow night when I get back down into the workshop. I have really got hooked on these shingles - I have them in about 10 different colors.  I will be doing some of my own weathering before this job is done but I like the way they go on and the starting colors.

Here is the website for Wild West Models - where I buy the shingles. I have also been buying his mining equipment for a future project - stay tuned. You may have seen their display at the Narrow Gauge Convention. I have used them for a number of different projects.

Shingles look fantastic, they have a ton of detail in them.

Thank you for the kind words. I think the Wild West Models cedar shingles are one of the best on the market.
