Roof looks great.

[vinceg]

Yes - I like the look of the roofing. The red is a nice break from the usual grays. Also like the nail holes. Did you do that with a pin or something? Looks like they're too far apart to come from a rivet tool of pounce wheel.

Karl, the rolled roofing was a good choice. It looks tops in that color and finish (the dry-brushing and the nail holes)!

Hi Vince:

yeah here is what I used for the nail holes. I don't even remember where I got it or what it is for in real life. But I like it. Actually the nail hole are not prototypical. The entire roof would leak. But what the heck I like the detail it adds. You would actually lay the first strip and nail it in place. The next strip would overlap the nails and so on up the roof.
