The slate roof looks really nice John!

Looks great.

Thank you, Curt. I made some more progress, today. I'm taking this slow and easy but so far I'm happy with the results.

Here are a few progress pictures of the tile roof installation.  At the end of the day, today, I was building the upper tower.

Thank you.  I hit a little snag this evening.  I'm short three window castings for the upper level. I don't have any in my stash so I'm going to look through a few kits to see if Bob might have used the same windows in another kit.  At the same time I will order some to replace the ones I'm missing.  There is still a chance that I miss placed them but I gave up the search this evening.

[S&S RR]

Update:  I found four of the windows I need in my SWMW Hilltown kit so we are off and running again.  I also put a note in the box and ordered the replacement windows from Tichy. I learned a lesson on this build - from now on it's not good enough to just count window holes and castings.  I'm going to do a dry fit of the window and door castings before I start painting or assembling anything. 


Follow-up: Apparently, when this kit was released there were a few of the boxes that got out with the wrong windows and Bob made it right with those that contacted him.  Thank you for the emails guys. My kit had 3 extra tall windows so the count was right just three that were the wrong size. I love your kits Bob and sometimes (S**T) happens.  Enjoy your retirement!

I got the windows painted and the window glass in, today.  I also started assembling the tower. Here is a progress picture from the end of the day.

Thank you for the kind words - I will be adding the roofing to the peaks hopefully, today. I'm waiting for the paint to come for the copper dome on the tower. It appears to be lost in transit according to my tracking information. It was supposed to be delivered a week ago.

Looking top notch, John.

Cheers, Mark.
