let's just hope that what's left of my sanity remain

Good luck with that mate !

Thanks Dave, let's just hope that what's left of my sanity remains so I can appreciate the finished building.

Well they do say railway modelling is a lifetime hobby.

Or in the case of making slates......a life sentence !

110 nailed to the roof in 40mins.

Looking at that, I think it will be well worth the effort, once completed. It adds to the already rustic appearance.

Cheers Phil. Just a little painting after that...

Walk don't run, Pencarrers Minor, or you'll be off to the boot room for a damn good thrashing.

I quite agree Gary that for tasks like this a stiff drink and some soothing music are required.

As opposed to a soothing drink and some stiff music.


One question if I may, Old chap. Is there a 'formula' when drawing and cutting a hipped roof out ? It's one of life's mysteries to me......

Hi Gary, that's dedication (or lockdown boredom) over and above the call of duty. Glad you found the threads useful.

Notes on step 3:
Height h should take a bit off to allow for the roof finish inc finishes.
Cut former parts 2 as shown and then cut a thin strip off the tall side equivalent to 1/2 the thickness of the material used for part 1.
Measure the length of part 3 and cut to suit location.

Hi Chris, Good modelling is good modelling, so far from boredom, your threads are very useful, Thank you, as I said in the US model dabblings thread, I find it fascinating how modellers explain what they expect from the materials used, but more importantly the time it takes to prep, any pitfalls encountered and their solutions to produce the finished model.

Looking forward to further updates.

Regards,

Gary

My little book gave me all the info for all angles of roof. Only ever had one problem with it, one apprentice could not multiply or divide by 10's and 100's. I nearly jumped off the scaffolding when he told me, if he wanted to be a mathematician he'd of stayed at school.

I thank you.......there will be more questions........
