Steve, Wayne, Bernhard, you are too kind, thank you!
Wayne, you are right, the shingles look good in that color, but I want to paint them because the shingles on the prototype are light gray. And besides that, I already have some houses on my layout with dark tar paper roofs and I don’t want them all to look the same. Maybe I should paint the roof of one of the other houses
. I have to think about it once again …
Bernhard, I will post some pictures of the packing house on my layout when it is finished.
I did not feel like going on with roofing today, so I decided to do these tubes that are coming out of the roof of the real packing house. I don’t know what these tubes are for, but they make a nice detail. It took me two hours to solder these square .080" tubes together and I enjoyed every single minute (we modelers are all crazy, aren’t we? :mrgreen::mrgreen
. I still have to close the ends of the tubes and paint them. And I saw some nice water pipes in the proto pics, where is my soldering iron ........
