Here's a picture of the machine at work. After these little shingle lines are cut the machine will cut long vertical lines, defining the shingle strip. I spent some time adding shingles to the roof this morning. Here's an in progress picture.

That machine does a great job, and so do you.

Like you, I don't like to do shingles, but they are right there on top of the building where everyone sees them, so you have to spend time on them.

George Fly Army Country: USA | Posts: 16770 George D Moderator Premium Member Posted - 02/02/2021 :  12:06:44 PM     I've finished the roof and roof structures. The next step is the loading dock. George Fly Army Country: USA | Posts: 16770 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 02/02/2021 :  2:04:21 PM     The structure looks great George. Interesting shingle maker. Country: USA | Posts: 11957 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 02/02/2021 :  2:44:11 PM       Looks very real with the vents and with the shingles done. Country: USA | Posts: 7189 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/02/2021 :  3:54:32 PM     George, the roof looks great. The vents certainly add character to it. A change from just the normal stacks & chimneys we see on most structures.

The Cricut is a handy tool. In some cases it saves a lot of ordering and waiting time. Thanks, Rob and Mike. I found the cooling towers and elevator structures on some of the ice houses when I searched the internet. I had to add them to add something to the plain roof. George Fly Army Country: USA | Posts: 16770 Bernd Fireman Posted - 02/02/2021 :  6:01:02 PM       One nice looking structure. That color combination gives that ice house a "cool" look. Bernd New York, Vermont & Northern Rwy. - Route of the Black Diamonds Country: USA | Posts: 3941 Ensign Engineer Posted - 02/02/2021 :  6:08:13 PM     George, great looking structure! Greg Country: Canada | Posts: 9027 George D Moderator Premium Member Posted - 02/02/2021 :  8:43:50 PM     Thanks, Bernd and Greg.
