Rohan Timber Roof 2

 

 

I tried using fascia boards from spare dormer windows

but, because I couldn't do a good enough job on it,

I ended up using more coffee stirrers.

I put a thin sausage of Greenstuff on the roof edge,

then pressed the stirrers into place.

There are plenty of horse heads spare so

clipping out these for the roof was no problem.

After a bit of dry brushing, the whole thing looks not too bad,

though I notice the underside of the roof needs painting.

A second prototype would use timber struts instead of card,

as a base for the roof, to prevent the curl that this roof originally had.

The external verticals should have been longer

 and applied after to final ridge was fixed.

Also, they should have divided the roof

into roughly equal spaces, quarters.

That would have disguised the ridiculously long roof boards.

The decorative horse heads should have been settled in more,

to give more surface for the glue.

The end ones needed more thoughtful cutting too.

Meanwhile, at the still unfinished Mead Hall,

there are signs that the Yule celebrations are already underway.

Mark the number of empties.
