Philip the cupola will be a nice detail addition. I'm with you on the roofing especially if it can't be seen.
Had to laugh at Karl's "new clamp".

The remedy for the lost 10mm.

With all that rain you should be able to finish this up this week??? 
Everything is looking good.

Fishing buddy helped me today. The big one!
Also messing around with dormer position. They are just tacked on with a dot of glue. Not sure if the current position is good? Any suggestions? I was thinking having 3 on each side of the roof?

Adding wood veneer over the 3d prints is pretty easy. CA to the plastic and then wood glue to joint the wood trim. The roofing will be tin.






Tomorrow I'll prime the two dormers and figure out the wood layout. I primed the coupla in camo brown. Good enough.

Thanks for looking and I'm open to suggestions, good, bad and unlikeful . 

We topped out a 107 today with the heat index. OMG!

Philip looking good so far. Personally I think 3 dormers is overkill; the 2 look just fine. Yup that heat crap is coming our way this week.

Thanks Larry. The original had the dormers on one end close together under the area without the double doors.

Maybe I need to make them wider?

Philip I like the two dormers.  They came out really nice.
What kind of glue for the wood to the plastic do you use???

One thing I question isn't that level a little big for the worker to use?

Thanks, CA seems to hold but I rough the mating surface first. Just to give it some tooth.

Might not be a bad idea to make the 2 stand out a little more and provide some balance to the building.

After a second look at the plans they will be bigger after the veneer is on. Time to proceed. The window openings match the wall framing almost exact.

Howdy, Philip. The cupola looks amazing.  It's a clever trick to use a casting for a sturdy frame, especially with all those louvers.  Have fun, mike
