Working on a new roof\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned in a previous recent post, I\u2019m rebuilding a better roof, for my 1:30 art studio model. This time it\u2019ll only have four, not five A-frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also did some work on the walls, to make them cleaner, flatter, more in square. So the roof will be sitting on a stabler base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, a gallery of images showing work in progress. The horizontal members – only on the two inner frames, are suggestive of a potential internal roof. Or do I leave the roof space open? I tend towards the latter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazingly (or not?) this second attempt failed, yet again. So I had to find the problem and fix it. I made some spacing doodads, and did just that. It took ages, measuring, moving, checking and re-checking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much better!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Eventually I got everything relatively well aligned, and deduced that one particular A-frame was sending everything out of whack. A bit of trimming, of said A-frame, finally got me – I hope – where I needed to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A nice neat central joint\u2026 phew!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve only kind of \u2018tack-welded\u2019 along the top of the roof, for now. I\u2019ll let that dry. And then I\u2019ll fix the lower ends of the roof sheets to the lower ends of the A-frame joists, along their bottom edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully the whole roof will be much better aligned, more \u2018square\u2019 to itself. And I can glue it all up, and then trim the roof panel sheets as needed. We shall see!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing this has thrown up is the way long overhanging eaves will overshadow some of the windows. Particularly those along the upper rear (south facing) fence side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do I do about this? Shorten the overhang of the eaves? Make the windows deeper? Situate the windows slightly lower down the wall?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmmm? It\u2019s for such problem finding and solving issues a preparatory model is such a good idea. In addition to the sheer fun of building!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
