I first airbrushed the building in Polly-S boxcar red.

Then the main roof sections were fitted. One side of each was beveled to meet at the peak. You also have to trim the roof back to fit the gabled section. I found about 4 scale feet worked for me.

Then the gabled roof sections are cut out and fitted into place.

When I was satisfied that everything fit right it was glued down. I did omit one step in the roof installation. I was supposed to draw the guide lines for the shingles but I won't be using the kit shingles so those lines wouldn't work anyway.
