Roof and cupola assembly next.... In a time like ours seemings and portents signify. Ours is a generation when dogs howl and the skin crawls on the skull with its beast's foreboding.

Like the others, I'm beginning to think about the wood kits I have sitting on the shelf.

Nope! I just fiddled about with the board width until I got one that left it pretty tight. After I get the the canvas on and get that painted, it'll be fine.

I could be wrong, but when you secure the cupola to the roof (if it isn't already) I'd probably center it between window and door. Seems like the cupola access would interfere with the door as you currently have it.

Just where you suggest is going to be its final resting place - where it is in the current photo is just to show it resting on the roof In a time like ours seemings and portents signify.

Country: USA | Posts: 2416 Dutchman Administrator Premium Member Posted - 02/16/2020 :  08:47:45 AM     What did you use for the canvas, Martin? Bruce Country: USA | Posts: 33524 TRAINS1941 Engineer Premium Member Posted - 02/16/2020 :  10:21:50 AM     That is really nice. Great job.

Quite a good job on the detailing, Martin. Mike Thanks all! It was a bit of battle getting all of the openings cut out keeping this old scribed plywood material intact when I was getting close to the edge. Wore out 2 scalpel blades; no bloodshed!
