Steve, yes, what everybody said. A showpiece to be proud of.  Your attention to detail shows up even in the most enlarged close-up photos. Beautiful work.

Attached are final pictures. I used tissue paper for the roofing material and used  3M transfer tape to attach it to the sub roof.  I was afraid of the sub roof warping from using glue.  the weathering is pastel powders.

Fantastic building and I certainly love all the interior detailing.  I really like how your roof turned out. It is just tissue paper stuck to transfer tape and then painted once it was on the building?  This looks like a very interesting technique.

You should be extra proud of this one!

I need to make a clarification Darryl, I painted the tissue paper a flat black with a spray can, Then I balled the paper up and straightened it,  then cut the strips 3 ft wide, applied the transfer tape to the sub roof, applied the tissue paper strips, and then used pastels to weather the roof.

And thanks for your comments

Very well done.

Did you make your roof removable?  Is there anything holding it in place?

Beautiful looking roundhouse.

The middle two panels of the roof are removable.  The outside panels are glued in place and the roof panels sit between the walls on trusses which hold them in place.


Thanks everybody for your comments
