FOS barber shop build

[Zephyrus52246]

While the structure cured, I started on the roof.  I used some leftover tarpaper from another project.  I painted the visible underside and sides of the roof white first, then added lines on the top to align the paper.  Used the 3M adhesive tape for sticking the paper on.  I use a Sharpie gently along the edges so the white paper doesn't show.

I drilled a hole in the base of the stack to insert a .20" wire which made it easier to paint and drilled a hole in the roof over a wood brace which makes it easier to straighten after attaching.  I put on the corner pieces and the top pieces to the front wall as well.  I should have sanded the angled piece a bit more as there's a slight gap at the corner.   Added some "tar" along the edge and at the base of the stack.

The added sign is a nice extra (especially in a free kit).

As is the barber pole (which I forgot to add for the final pics).

Wow, only eight days to complete.  Probably a record for me.  The base is included, just sprayed with gray primer.  

There's supposed to be a window on the back, but some dumba** braced the wrong side and the window would have been in the center of the sign.  Doh!

A fun little kit, and free ain't bad, either!

Looks terrific, Jeff!

Thanks, guys.  I made some mistakes on both, but they turned out OK.  I think the remedy would be building more kits so I don't make the same mistakes.
