[ACL1504]

Rafter tails trimmed.



Exterior end rafters added.



Diet Pepsi time, back in a few.

[ACL1504]

Trim added to the garage.

[ACL1504]

Roof panel, exterior rafters and rafter tails added as well as an LED  interior light. The goose neck light is nonoperational.



The warm light LED is to blue so it will get replaced later as I get around to it. Oh wait, I had a round, round to it. However, I threw it out.



Rolled roofing is next. Hopefully, I get it all done tomorrow.

Really nice Tom.

Looks fantastic, Tom. Just the right amount of weathering for a functional, thriving business.

I guess you don need another "Round to it"

Good looking Kit bash, of a Kit bash, of some FOS Kits.

Today was spent pretty much finishing the main structure.

I used the roofing paper Kenny supplied with the kit. I used Floquil UP Harbour Mist Gray for the rolled roofing paper. It was painted on the paper full strength.



When dry, I used the lines on the obverse side and cut the roofing strips.

Once cut they were glued to the roof using Elmer's glue stick. This works well and I've never had any rolled roofing papers come off later down the road. Some of my roofing paper has been on the building for years with no issue. Of course, you can also use the double sided tape. I was just in the mood for this glue.



I applied the middle or rear roofing in the same manner as the one shown above.

More in a few.

Several years ago Bob Van Gelder offered his shingle sheets on a first come first served basis. I was fast enough with the email and got ten sheets.

Only six are shown but I have four more - somewhere.

I wanted a different look for the second story roof so I used the shingles.




The shingles were cut to size and glued to the front and rear roof panels. I only needed one sheet as it covered both front and rear.





More in a few.

[ACL1504]

For the ridge, I separated two rows of shingles.



I then cut individual shingles from the two rows.



More in a few. I need to get a cold Diet Pepsi to keep me going.

[ACL1504]

These were bent, one at a time, and glued, one at a time, to the top of the ridge.



Finished after an hour or so.



Notice the four darker rows, this is the first step in weathering the shingles.

More in a few.

I used Prismacolor pens for the weathering. They are alcohol based and are sold at Sam Flax and other artsie type stores.

They go on dark and dry much lighter.




I used five different colors for the upper roof.

PM-114 Cool Grey 70%

PM-112 Cool Grey 50%

PM-111 Cool Grey 40%

PM-80   Putty

PM-197  Tea Green

After applying the colors I used the flat side of a #17 Xacto balde and upturned a few shingles.



More in a few.

Here is a better view of the shingled roof.



I then added the TIRES sign, two vent stacks and one chimney. I also added the tar where necessary. A few more signs were added as well.

When I saw this next photo, I panicked and thought the TIRES sign dried crooked. I checked and it the straight up and down, it is the angle of the picture.



The kit is now basically finished. I still need to add rolled roofing to the small garage but for now I'm calling this kit bash of Jenson's kit bash finished.
