I have been working on the gatorboard house’s barrel tile roof for two weeks, which is about one week and five days longer than I thought it would take. It hasn’t exactly been fun.
I started by painting the tile sheets with gesso, thinking this would help the paint stick to the styrene. These are G scale tile sheets made by JTT Scenery.
While the gesso was drying, I cut holes in the roof for skylights. I’m using the same Houseworks windows as on the house. I started by tracing around the inner edge of the window.
Then I cut the holes with a sharp utility knife. Compared to everything else on this roof, this part went pretty well!
Woo! Now you can see the fireplace!
