Here is a picture after installation. I will do the final weathering after everything is in place.

Today, I added the dormers and Skylight - the roof cards have been glued down and will be ready for shingles when I get back at it.

The base board is ready for the structures to be glued down.

Today, I added the shingles to the dormers and the extension boards to the center dormer. These extension boards will be covered with metal roofing to make it look like a repair. I tarred this up like the repair nightmare that this roof would be. I also modeled it with the roof sagging in the middle from the weight of all the dormers.

Looks great John.

I added the metal roofing at the top of the dormer, built the front dock, added the window and door castings to building B, and did a test fit between structure A and B. I did a little work on the belt sander to get the fit I wanted between the two structures. Structure C is in the background all clamped up. I decided not to make the roof removable as George does in the kit. Mine will have LED lighting to show off the interior detail in building C. I will also be adding some gooseneck outside lights.

I also added the first of about a half dozen smoke stacks to the roof. I will be doing a lot of weathering to this build once it is in place on the baseboard and again when it is mounted in place on the layout.

Looking good John!

John,

That is really coming together nicely!

What a great looking structure! I love all the build threads because, as a relative newcomer to FSM kits, I've seen most of them in pics, but not as "intimately" as you get through a build thread. This is really nice. I'm looking forward to the weathering blast! Nice work!

John

As usual, the stone work and shingling look especially good.
