Tom, nice job on the additions, it suits the building.

I've assembled clapboard upside down a couple of times.  Now I either clearly mark TOP" on the piece, or add some tape and write on that, to remind me which way is up!

Dave,

I've done that as well. However, I've never glued windows in on a upside down wall section. What I showed above was just the fry test fit of the windows.

Gee Tom I don't check in for a few days and wham!!! You're going great guns. The corbels look exceptional and like already stated it really adds a lot to the overall look. The one nice thing about scratch building is I usually don't get siding up-side-down since they are added by individual boards; although that's not to say I haven't. Lol.Great work!

Larry,

Well, don't stay away so long.   I've done the same thing as we all get busy and don't get to post to every thread until we find ourselves behind.

Thank you for the kind comment.

Tom great job on those corbels.
Good thing you weren't coughing when you place them!!

And I like tha sub assembly with the slanted roof much better than a flat one.


Jerry

Jerry,

Thank you and yes, no coughing was done while corbelling. 

The sub assembly will be a nice addition to the look of the building.

Tom,

Great addition with the corbels and the sloping roof.
You should be getting this wrapped up soon, if all goes well, nice build.

Rich

Rich,

Thanks very much, I appreciate the compliment. Yes, I'm getting close to the finish line but need to stay focused and not rush the end details.

I neglected to add I added different corner trim in the above posts.

I usually use scale 4X4s for the corner trim but decided to add actually exterior corner trim to the small sub assembly. I stained and glued the 1X4s to both corners.

[ACL1504]

I believe the sloped roof adds a little more character to the structure.



I made the roof from 1 ply cardboard.

[ACL1504]

I made sure the corner of the roof material was square prior to cutting the panel.



I cut the roof panel along with the rolled roofing material. The roofing material is from Stoney Creek. Unfortunately this company is no longer in business. I don't know if the line was taken on by another person.

[ACL1504]

In the photo above, you can see I glued on two exterior roof rafters.

I glued the roof on and added exterior rafter tails.



I used a toothpick to touch up the rater tails as I didn't want to clean a brush for a small job like this. You don't need to take time to clean a toothpick. 



Here is how it now looks with the roof and rafter tails. I'll glue it in place and weather it later in the build..

The exterior stair will be added to the rear and the front canopy needs to be now glued in place.



Done for today.

Great modeling Tom. Will there be a door on one of the sides?
