The...Haha...just 3 more to go then...and a wall...<br /><br />The roof... not easy to describe but Ill try... Started with the sturdy back of a A4 notebook, folded it in half to get the ridge. <br /><br />Then I placed 6 V-shaped truss on the inside that I made out of the same cardboard material as the walls.<br /><br />After that I stiffen all the outer edges of the roof with wood, using the same as I used to the outer walls of the house.<br /><br />next step was to add the beems on both sides using same balsa wood I used for the beems around the house, 5x5mm.<br /><br />Now time to pva glue the towel to the roof... paint it all in brown paint with much water so the white towel will be easier to spray paint and I also get the fabric of the towel to lay in one direction.<br /><br />Lastly I added the 4 outer V-beems for the look of it:)<br /><br />Simple as that;)<br /><br />Be sure to let thins dry in between, I use PVA glue and it take some time to fixiate. especially the 6 V-shaped truss... <br />Dalaupprorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292614404943521842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210932511057502147.post-71508818596532388102016-04-28T08:46:45.077+02:002016-04-28T08:46:45.077+02:00Excellent longhouse.
