Philip,

I've used thinned Tamiya Clear Yellow to soften the brightness of the LEDs.

Tom, I have plenty of bulbs to experiment on. Thanks! These blue hue bulbs were listed as warm white. Kinda overpowering lumes in brightness and color. BTW, I made a jig for O scale goose neck bends out of old train wheels. i post a photo later.

Trim is on and shingles are being applied. Also shown are the handmade lights. As Tom mentioned thread the wires before bending. The jigs are shown and made from HO drivers screwed to hardwood. I use K&S 3/32 OD brass tube. The shades are 3d printed on my home printer.

Philip, nice work on the structure.  The individually applied shingles look great.  Excellent work on the goose neck lights.  Cool jig, too.  Have fun, mike

Thanks Curt, Mike, and Jerry! Sorry I didn't see your comments.

I finished the roof last night. Nothing in photos yet. Tonight perhaps.
