Mark: great work and I applaud you for opting for the sub-framing. My anxious soul was too scared to take this route even though I initially attempted to. I figured sub-framing would allow me to give the impression of some broken boards and gaps to shine through ... not possible with basswood or foam as the template. Unfortunately I found it too difficult to match up the angles on the roof. Any tips you can provide? I noticed you used some pins to hold things in line and in place.
Joe: thanks for the encouragement. Never too late my friend. Would love to have you add your skills to the mix. As with all these builds I find the more the merrier!
