After all was glued together, I noticed I had glued the rear wall on incorrectly
According to the instructions, I was supposed to line up the bottoms of the walls, but that didn't seem to look right to me. The illustration showed the walls lining up near the top. I noticed this error when gluing on the rear loading dock/steps. It was much too late to break the joint at the rear wall and re-set, so I made the platform a bit higher using some scrap styrene so that everything lined up. I hope this doesn't constitute a "kitbash" and disqualify me
. Anyhoo, the roof is made from the cardboard supplied.
And here after some paper strips were applied to the roof (per instructions) to simulate tar paper, and a coat of gray primer. Can't hardly notice the extra step I made from styrene.
And here after some painting with craft paints. Some people like to paint the parts and glue together, I prefer to glue the structure together first and then paint.
Still much more painting to do here.
