Engine shed build and extension

[yb281]

Mel ,
How have you done the ridge tile please ?

Just make a double strip of tiles mate, but score the centre line rather than cutting right through.

Does that make sense?

 

[Steve]

Yes thanks ,
I have not scored through at all just used a chisel to make an indent .

Also Mel , could you please take a pic of the gable where the wood is under the tile .(i think this is what its called)

The barge boards like these mate?

This is a resin roof, but the principle's the same. Just cut from plasticard and glued with Uhu.

Another wet day so a little more progress with the engine shed.

5 coats co far of PVA selant

First roof tiled

Stones cut for the edges of the shed

 

[Steve]

Further to a rather wet week end a little more progress was made , nicked the idea off Puffer for the doors to the shed

I've got my hands on some felt for my shed roof too - your's looks the business! The doors look quite thick though? What are you using for windows? Does the kit come with some?

Jackson's Minitures kits come with doors, windows and glazing, and they are available separately for those who make their own buildings James....

love it steve ,by the way whats the measurements of your tiles

 

[Steve]

The strips are cut at the width of my 24" 600mm Steel rule the individual tiles are cut to the width of my 6" 150mm steel rule.

10 out of 10 for that answer I'm sure
Couldn't you use your 6 to measure the 24 and the 24 to measure your 6?

Ah to be sure - never thought of that. I suppose it a bit like measuring a flagpole - lay it down and you have only got the length
