Using a little "fast forward" license here, the rolled roofing was glued onto the roof. I used 3M Transfer Tape to hold the roofing paper in place.

The two roof panels were then glued to the church. Once the two roof panels were dry, I added a ridge piece of rolled roofing.

More in a few.

I weathered the roof using Pan Pastels. I first applied some Payne's Light Grey, then blended in some Payne's Dark Grey and then a little Black. I used a very light amount of Raw Umber for a final touch.

Note, the Raw Umber appears much more visible than it is. The camera picked up the brown. The Raw Umber on the roof is very subtle.

I then added the front porch roof.

Not shown here but I then cut 14 pieces of brick piers to an HO scale 2 feet.

I placed the church between to weights to hold it while I glued the brick piers in place.

More in a few.

Again, a little fast forwarding here and just like magic, the piers are all glued in place.

Oops, forgot to get the Diet Pepsi.

The front porch steps will be next in the build.

ACL1504 · December 30, 2020, 06:05:32 PM

Yes, my brick piers and church is still on the level.

Thanks for following on the build.

Great build Tom. The brick piers really make everything pop.

S&S RR · December 30, 2020, 08:49:43 PM

Very nice work, my friend.

Nice. nice. Nice. I did I say that your build was nice? It is great.

That's going to look simply awesome in the spot you have picked out for it on the layout.

Well done! I like all of the changes you made to the kit to make it your own.
