CSX Hanover Subdivision 3.0

Worked on adding some terrain around Butler Rd.  Railroad Ave breaks off to the right, sloping downhill towards the station.



And some more elevation behinds Santoni's

Put some more paint on the station at Glyndon.  Passes 3' rule

[mu26aeh]

Where'd my M88A2s go ?



Almost missed my Bradleys too



Added camo paint to my military equipment.  Weathered the MT DODX flats while the airbrush was loaded.  Now that they're done, back to working on Glyndon

Are you going to add that cute dormer to the roof? It has so much character!

[mu26aeh]

Yes, the dormer/eyebrow windows will get installed later

Continuing to work on Glyndon Station.  Hoping my roofing material shows up in the mail.  Used some styrene over the large window in the center, putty to blend everything together, and found some donor windows to steal the muntins from to get a "close enough" look.  Small windows on the ends I just used putty to fill in behind them and will shape accordingly.

I started coveting the roof this weekend.  Using slate shingles from rslaserkits.com.  printed on paper, then cut with a laser.  A mere 1.25mm shows from each row of shingles.  I'm using LocTite spray adhesive to attach them, this allows some adjusting after you get a section done in case anything moved.  I need to install a ridge cap on the peak and where edges meet to cover them up.  Will do that once entire roof is finished.

[wm3798]

I was thinking you could use some 90 degree angle stock for the ridge cap, which was copper, but I think that would be too steep for the roof pitch.
You could use two strips of say .30x.10 then put that small diameter styrene rod at the top.  That would be pretty spot on.  A bit more work, because you'd have to repeat it down the hips as well, but I think the effort will be well worth it.

p.s.

from this month's WMRHS Calendar...  The cap just runs the ridge.  Looks like there's overlapping slate down the hips.

[mu26aeh]

The hips actually don't have a cap, just the ridges.  Looks like the slate is mitered on the hips.

Here is quick and dirty example with small piece of angle painted PC green

[wm3798]

That should work.
I suggest a light coat of matte Mod Podge to seal the beveled corners at the hips, and to generally seal the roofing... after you color it in, of course.
