While the sidewalks were drying, I used painter tape to mark the inside edges of the corner sidewalks.

I painted on some white glue and then added some green turf.



In this case, I used Woodland Scenics Blended Turf #T1349 as the base.



I left it alone and let the white glue soak into the blended turf.

Done for today.

Tom, too bad laying the sod isn't as easy as the Woodland Scenic's Turf.

But imagine how big the static grass gun would have to be...  Who's going to hold that thing up?

Tom, you have made a ton of progress since I last looked in.  It is all starting to come together.  The sidewalks look great.

I cut the roof panel from the kit template. As I mentioned in a previous post, this cardboard panel is to thin for my liking.



I used it as a pattern and cut the new roof panel from the much thicker cardboard.

Once the sidewalks were securely glued in place, it was easy to just slide the structure in against the sidewalks.





Have more progress but didn't get the photos loaded and cropped for this posting.

Done for today.
