SMurF Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 Had a go at the curved roof on the dutch barn and a few more purlins Don't think the roof has come out too bad Just needs covering and it won't look too bad \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMurF Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 Working hard there Scott looking good What you cladding it wit? Hopeing to have a bash with the corrugated card will dampen it first then lay it over some cling film on the roof to take some of the tension out of the flat sheets useing elasic bands to shape it then let it dry out before gluing it down Its an old trick for model aeroplane fuselages stops the card trying to go back to its natural shape ie flat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
