Continuing........
The roofs on the model feature standing seam metal roofing. The roofing parts are made of RIB featuring grooves. 1x3's have to be carefuly glued in the grooves to form the standing seams.To conserve wood supplies I used a Chopper to cut them to roughly the right length. Then I used my fine nosed PVA bottle to apply glue before carefully pushing the 1x3's into the grooves. Time for nice soothing music.........Even with a little glue the roof boards started to warp..........Only another six roofs to go............

So I have a problem. I can post pictures but not comment as the same time.

The roofs warp with very little glue so I used carpet tape on the back.

Small tip. When you apply glue to the grooves start half way down . As you push the wood from right to left the glue will flow to the end without puddling. Giving a neater job.
