Perfect rafter tails and fly rafters.

Cheers, Mark.

Thanks Mark,

With the jigs that Brett made for the kit it was an easy process cutting them to size.

Howdy Ron,

Nice work on the siding. The colors look great. Rafter tails add a lot of character to a structure, and your application looks terrific.

Have fun,
mike

Thanks for the kind words Mike. I agree that the rafter tails add a lot of character to a structure.

Ron nice closing on the walls. You assemble buildings the way I do and they come out nice and square. Nice trick for doing rafter tails; I may have to borrow that idea since I hate doing those.

Ron,

Very well done. I really like the individual board coloring. Coming along nicely.

Larry, thanks for the comment and you cab borrow the rafter tail trick anytime. I tend to add rafter tails that when I want to make the roof removable.

Thanks Tom, I have to figure out what I did 15 years ago when I started building the kit how I coloured the boards as I have 2 more kits that are part of the diorama and I need the colouring to match and/or be complementary.
