Part 12 - Raising the Roof

Paint the outside edges of the roof panels with your wall color.

I used Polyscale SP Lettering Grey

While you have the parts and paint out, go ahead and paint the signs for the roof

Sand the roof panel with a sanding stick.

Dry fit the roof panel. Then apply glue to the top of the end walls and to the rafter tail piece.

Be sure to get rid of excess glue.

Do the same thing with the other roof panel.

With the side roof panels, there is a score line which you should use to cut off a section of the roof if you've built the addition next to the main building.

If you have built the side building separately, leave the roof whole.

The side roof panels cut to fit against the building.

Glue the side panels in place with yellow glue.

Trim the rafter tails off using a pair of scissors or a sprue cutter.

The sprue cutter is probably a better tool as there is less shearing action with that tool.

Apply glue to the covered stair bottom and inside wall. Glue the covered stair in place.
