As I'm using thin, 1mm balsa, for this roof area, I did full length rafters for support. to stop the roof sagging. These are leftover boards from my trawler builds. Roof is on and trial fit of the balcony front. This is Grandline bandstand lattice 3517. Two pieces trimmed to length and joined and a styrene strip across the top. Then more shingles. Painted some various browns to start with. Then all blended with various greys, and washes, and final dry brushing. Has blended in well with the other roof.

Nicely done! Bruce Country: USA | Posts: 33284 Ensign Engineer Posted - 02/18/2021 :  12:30:35 PM     Rob, the balcony looks wonderful! As do the photos taken outdoors under natural light. Makes the colours all come alive. Greg Country: Canada | Posts: 9040 quartergauger48 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/18/2021 :  7:47:14 PM     Beautiful work Rob'.. Really looks great'...The balcony is very cool'.. Ted Country: USA | Posts: 6183 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/20/2021 :  11:59:19 PM     Thanks Mike, George, Carl, Frank, Bruce, Greg & Ted. I think I've replicated the original balcony really well. And true, the outdoor shots do show off the detail much better. Regards Rob My current build. http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53468 Country: Australia | Posts: 2809 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/21/2021 :  12:27:58 AM     Now onto the next part that sticks out from the main structure. It's the lower left section. I made up a couple of sides. All good. Then made up some A frames for the roof part. Trying to put it together, I found it to be very weak & fiddly to do. So scrapped these. They cant be seen anyhow. So instead I'm putting in a flat ceiling of 5mm balsa. And then some more 5mm balsa angled for a sub-roof. To attach it to the wall, I did my upside down weatherboard trick again and added some 5mm balsa to that which will sit inside the roof apex, to support this section, as this bit hangs in the air until I can build some decking under it, as the bottom of the structure is on a split level wharf Excuse me if I'm not explaining it to well, but you can reference the pics at the start of the thread. And the roof is now on. I will add a fascia to the roof front and then rafter tails and shingles.

Greg Country: Canada | Posts: 9040 Tyson Rayles Moderator Premium Member Posted - 02/21/2021 :  07:47:46 AM     Country: USA | Posts: 13434 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/24/2021 :  02:58:21 AM     Thanks Greg & Mike. Although this would look a good structure with just 4 flat walls, the additional protrusions really make it a standout.

I made a gable trim, and the finial is actually a toothpick. For the roof I wanted a slightly different look, so I did shingles again, but have also added tar paper as well, to look like a repair. And here's how it looks when attached to the main structure. I've also temporarily added some windows. I usually don't add my windows till last so I don't get any paint on the glass.
