Well, I forgot about measure twice and cut once. I then spent about 40 minutes looking and studying on it.

I then cut a new roof panel and started over. I drew lines on the new roof panel using the dormer roof panel as a guide.



I then cut the main roof panel along the lines and made another test fit.

Not perfect but it is in the bubble lines. Not bad for a second try and I got lucky. Murphy has nothing on me this time.




After taking the photo, I realized the dromer slid down a bit from the fifth wall.



Yepper, more in a few.

I then added a dry brushing of A&I Light Gray to the walls.

I dipped a 1/2" soft brush into the A&I, dabbed it on a napkin and then quickly dry brushed the light gray on the walls. I used horizontal strokes for the brushing.

I used a pencil to mark the location of the small office.



Glued some cardboard to the rear of the window openings.

Tom, this is looking great. I see more and more of us gravitating to the Tamiya paint. I use to use it more in my model car building days 30 years ago. I might need to build up my stock again.

BTW, say "Hi" to the Judge for me.

Dan,

Thank you, much appreciate you stopping by for a comment. I really like the Tamiya paints. However, I've only used them on wood building but plan on trying them on some Sylvan's in the new year.
