Here's where the model stands right now. That "platform" on the left will have another roof end and all the rest are lower edges of more roofs. The roof on the right was a problem. No photo shows it in any detail, just a low leaning puddle of roofing. I chose to make it more standard and once it is covered with roofing materials in will blend in. There is no significance to the coloring, I have a supply of heavy chipboard that I like to use for roofs but that material will not take the slant and curve required by that section of roof so I simply used other card that was on hand. I still have not done that touch-up painting I need to do, but soon it will be done. I should remind you that for the sake of trying to keep the model within reasonable size I have shortened the depth (the distance between things going from front to back) has been shortened in all cases. The model is already getting too big to manage.

Greg Country: Canada | Posts: 9039 Guff Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/20/2021 :  10:32:49 PM       Roof profile Looks great! David Guffey Country: USA | Posts: 2094 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 01/20/2021 :  11:18:54 PM       Bob, If you don’t have the roofs exactly right you must be close. I suspect some of the complexity is due to various ad hoc changes over the years. Mike Country: USA | Posts: 7213 Ray Dunakin Fireman Posted - 01/21/2021 :  12:00:41 AM       Looks great, Bob! What are the dimensions so far? Country: USA | Posts: 3363 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/21/2021 :  04:28:52 AM     Carl, Greg, Dave, Mike, and Ray, thanks for your comments. Ray, so far it's 19 x 10 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches high. The next sections of roof are going to increase that greatly in height and a bit in width. I'm hoping not to increase the depth.

Remember, I have foreshortened the back to front distances so that complicates it a bit.

Lincoln Country: USA | Posts: 13204 Orionvp17 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/21/2021 :  9:15:22 PM     Bob, Enough of the "rivet counting" and worrying! This structure will be fabulous, and if it's not a "model of," it is certainly "inspired by," so it's all good. Rule One governs! Drive on! Pete in Michigan Country: USA | Posts: 7530 Guff Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/22/2021 :  12:25:52 AM       Bob, "Complicates it a bit" is an understatement. What a terrific job you ae doing! David Guffey Country: USA | Posts: 2094 Ensign Engineer Posted - 01/22/2021 :  09:29:18 AM     Bob, are you going to add that little cupola shown in the original photo to your roof, and also that gable window? Greg Country: Canada | Posts: 9039 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/22/2021 :  11:56:54 AM     Jerry, Pete, Dave, and Greg, thanks for your comments. Pete- I like your idea "inspired by" Greg - yes, I will make the cupola and I have already made a gallery window but it is not as detailed as the real one. I don't think my hands and eyes are that good anymore. It's just sitting in place, not glued on.

Bob Bob, even if that is the case, your still a better modeler than most of us! Greg Country: Canada | Posts: 9039 CNE1899 Engine Wiper Supporting Member Posted - 01/22/2021 :  7:44:12 PM     Bob, Your roofing job is looking great! I think you have pulled of the foreshortening well. Like the gallery window.
