Thanks Tom.
I continued with the main roof detail by building the two smokejacks.
Each smokejack is built of 7 pieces of scribed siding that you cut out and glue together using the templates in the kit.
The two assembled smokejacks.
Then I painted the clerestory and the smokejacks with polly-s earth as a primer. I'm planning on paint the the clesestory's walls in boxcar red. The instructions say the prototype smokejacks were painted in 'Clapp's Fire-resistant paint'. I'm still trying to figure out what color that was.
I then assembled the office roof. It too is meant to be removeable with it's own small rafters:
I'm working on the lighting now. I'm planning on having 4 led's for the main building, one in each corner.
These are some small, pre-wired led's and resistors that have a max of 12 volts. I tend to use 9 volts so the give off more of a glow that an intense bright light.
My plan is to run the wires inside styrene tubing, painted black to hide them somewhat.
I'm thinking of adding two more for the car shed and something special for the office.
