Day 10 :) slight problem..but all is well :)

I've double glued the mansard supports....those babies arent going anywhere!!! I was all set to dry fit the curved roof....i have the new veneer parts backed by cardboard ( what a fabulous upgrade to this wonderful kit )....
rurrooooooooo....
its got to be reversed....the wood is on the wrong side....i have the cardboard facing out ....
mild panic sets in....then.....dohhhhh its going to be shingled anyways....
drama over i think i'll shingle them first before i glue and i realised that with the fab upgraded veneers the mansard supports probably dont have to be as sturdy as with the old roof as there isnt as much pushing and shoveing to get them to fit....did i say what a fabulous upgrade idea this is !!! .....and i'm thinking i might get my main wallpapering/templates done before i put the windows in.....so much to do but so exciting....cant wait to put the houses together and see how they look

okies i'm off to fiddle somemore...be back tonight to update :)
