Building the roundhouse at Mount Forest...

[doctorwayne]

Work continues, speeding along at an almost glacial pace, with eavestroughs added to the front of the roundhouse...



The larger ones at the rear are both in-place and painted, although those from the annex roof still need paint...



...which they'll get as soon as I repaint the roof, including the main one.

Here's the other rear corner, where the shortened stall is located...



When the roof is removed, the eavestroughs  (and downspouts, of course) remain with the walls...





Since very little will stick well to the resin walls of the roundhouse, I fashioned a sort of "saddle" (seen in the photo above) made from styrene sheet and strip material, to which the soffit and eavestroughs were cemented.   With the roof in place, the set-up seems to work well enough.

The rear eavestroughs and soffit were cemented directly to that stone cornice, added a few posts ago, rendering it pretty-well invisible.  Because it and the trough and soffit are all styrene, the bond should be quite strong.







Here's the relatively-easy assembly procedure...simply put the roof in place....



...then press down...



The front eavestroughs still need a little clean-up of the joints, before they get painted, but I also hope to get the roof re-painted later this evening.

After that, modifying and installing the doors will be next.
