Farmer's market build pt 3

In this 3rd part of the Farmer's market build we build a removable roof, Finish off the 2nd floor and further prepare the Diorama.

First job to tacle is to add a thin layer of cereal board to the back of the roof, this adds strength for handling the roof. We also cut holes in the front roof panel to allow the LED's to shine through the windows. Last we added some backing to the roof panels (this can be scrap piece of wood).


We started the cedar shakes wow what a sweet process just when you think "dang I screwed the paint up" you start to see the beauty of these put together. We held off on the 3rd coat of black suggested in the instructions, opting to wait till the shakes were laid so we could better recreate the water stains described.


This kit by far is a great little build. All the steps to the finished product don't hold back. Each step uses the best materials for the job. I am specifically talking about the shakes, tin (after etching) and finally down to the fence jig burned into the back of the cigar box the model arrived in. This is a truley great build and I have thank Joe again next time we talk.


Last we will update the diorama (update Sunday)
