Rohan sideways porch

 

When I said  'nearly there', I was wrong.

This avoidance of the narrow doorway led to problems.

The joint arrangement I concocted was wont to come apart when I sneezed/

I changed it to this after three goes.

Not pretty and the doorway is narrower but at least,

it doesn't fall apart.

Helped by some extra bits of frame where it can't normally be seen.

Jim 'the lodger' at the shop front.

This is the modified side on porch.

Rohan side-on porch - nearly there.

This was the original idea for the side entrance

but clearly, the opening is too narrow.

I took one more plank from under the beam

and cut out the lower part of the LHS.

I figured it could do with an interior (hidden) support.

It's pretty much assembled.

Once firm, the piece in front, cut to shape,will go in.

That piece alone will comprise six pieces.

The main construction comprises 15 pieces.

I may add two more before I'm done.

Must be mad.

 

Rohan semi porches

These are the left over pieces that I'm trying to use

to build two identical porches - with a difference.

It was so tricky that I'll produce two different ones or only one.

 

Rohan roof and Green Stuff

Here's the result after a dab of recently purchased Green Stuff.

I'll have to see how it looks once painted.

The other side.

Damn dormer slipped a bit.

Here's the botch job roof ends.

Perhaps some Green Stuff wanted in that gap.

It took yonks, cutting and filing down spare pieces to fit.

Again, I'll only know if it's OK once painted.

Rohan roof problems

This was the side I was concerned about

as the problem was caused by my attempt

to close the normal gap on the ridge join.

By closing that gap, the ridge no longer remained flat

leaving a more difficult gap to fill.

This side is even worse.

This time caused by the lack of 'key points'

at the end of the roof.

This came from using the cut off 'extension' pieces.

Finally, a good look at the ridge end joint.

Creativity OK. Practice dreadful.

 

Rohan stable doors

 

Finally worked out a fix for them after about three stabs and a bout of Covid/Asthma.

Still very unsure about them. What do they represent?

I thought they'd look like wicker.

Rohan Semi roof ends

I've also realised that I only have one complete roof end.

To produce a copy of the three part end at the top of this shot,

I'll be using about twelve scraps cut and filed to fit.

Rohan Semi-detached 1

 

I was surprised to find that there were fewer spare pieces available

after the Mead Hall. Just one long wall.

I've hacksawed that in two and extended the length of this building.

As you can see, it's an almost perfect fit for the additional spare roof piece.

Rohan stables - floor

I've decided that the stables should have cobbled flooring.

Wallpaper with mumps.

Rohan Bee Skeps and Mead Hall

I tried for a little raised ground at the rear of the Mead Hall.

This gives the bees a little height to start their day.

Just three layers of card.

I've also given them some flowers.

Thinks of them as Spitfire starter motors.

Front entrance.

How many times have I told those bar girls to put the empties at the rear!
