Ted Country: USA | Posts: 6178 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/24/2021 :  12:27:22 AM     Bob, the roof should come up really well. Lots of different angles, but they should all mix well together. I really like the round porch area. Always such a nice feature of this style of home. Regards Rob My current build. http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53468 Country: Australia | Posts: 2795 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/24/2021 :  09:43:51 AM     Greg, Scott, Ted, and Rob, thanks for your comments, they are much appreciated. My sins come back to haunt me, by decreasing the front to back measurements as I have stated the roofs you see long right to left, are in fact much steeper that the original. That is not noticeable except when fitting such things as the cupola. It makes it seem much longer up an down to meet the angle of the steeper roof. I don't like it and I have removed it since I took that photo. I am redoing it somewhat. Still working on the details under that window roof end too.

I see a beautiful building that I view in amazement!

Country: USA | Posts: 4143 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/26/2021 :  05:10:27 AM     Dave and Carl, thanks for posting. I do appreciate it. I took a break from making details to start the shingling, still have a long way to go. They look black in the photo but they are actually gray. I wanted a lighter gray but with shopping cut back by the virus and I had a stack of this gray card on hand, so be it. I did cut the cupola down and I like it much more now. I need a few more details under that one roof end, complete the shingling, and make a chimney, and finish the decorations and it looks like I will finish this model before Christmas!!

Greg Country: Canada | Posts: 9027 Bill Gill Fireman Posted - 01/26/2021 :  12:46:43 PM     Bob, Glad you're sticking with this project, you're really getting the hang of this modeling hobby :) It's looking super. Country: USA | Posts: 3232 CNE1899 Engine Wiper Supporting Member Posted - 01/26/2021 :  1:07:31 PM     Bob, I can use a new roof on my garage, when are you available? Seriously though, the roof is coming along nicely. Scott Country: | Posts: 190 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/26/2021 :  1:15:13 PM     Greg, Bill, and Scott, thanks for commenting!! I've had help with that roof and we have a long way to go. Bob http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=30102 http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=51837 Country: USA | Posts: 4240 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/29/2021 :  07:06:47 AM     The roofer is still working and will be for quite some time to come. I forgot to mention that I finished the detail on that roof gable end. I used the flash to light up this shot but I do not like to do that. It's been really dreary for days. Charly and Larry are discussing the work still to be done. While I did not plan to include any lighting I have been thinking about it lately. Bob http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=30102 http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=51837 Country: USA | Posts: 4240 Bill Gill Fireman Posted - 01/29/2021 :  07:57:41 AM     When Charly and Larry are there you know it'll get done well. Looks good, Bob! Country: USA | Posts: 3232 Ensign Engineer Posted - 01/29/2021 :  09:08:27 AM     Bob, I hope you do add some lighting, your porch would look even more beautiful lit up at night. You should put some hammers in Larry & Charly's hands so they at least appear like they might be helping out. Nothing worse than 2 guys watching someone work. Greg Country: Canada | Posts: 9027 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/29/2021 :  4:27:01 PM     Bob, I'm liking how the roof has come out. You're nearly there. And that look right. 2 discussing the work, while ones doing all the work. Definitely do the lighting. Always a nice effect on a model.

It looks like you have a lot of cutting and fitting with all those different roof surfaces. You're off to a good start.
