I forgot to take any pics of the roof assembly.  It's a flat wood piece with lines on it to line up the supplied black "tarpaper".  I had some green tarpaper from a previous build that worked well.  

Here's the finished model.  The pictures are a bit stark, the roof looks better in person, though it could probably use a slight amount of grey pastels drawn across it.  

A fun kit, even if I did screw up the walls and break one of them.

Looks good, you recovered nicely.  Sometimes brick buildings develop cracks as the foundation shifts...  Definitely a learning experience, on an inexpensive small structure.  Good thing it wasn't something like the SRMW Roundhouse!

I can't see which wall, so I wouldn't have even known you recovered.

An all around nice little kit and build Jeff.

Thanks, Dave.  I tend to think of these breaks as "instant weathering", as long as there isn't too much damage.

James, it's pretty subtle over the front door.   I really should know better than to try to stress them.

Jeff,

Super-neat little building.  Well done.  Your brick is very successful. 

Structures like this have a lot of uses on a layout.

Thanks, Mike.  I don't know where it will go on the Empire, but I'm sure I'll find it a spot.
