SHINGLED ROOF ASSEMBLY

Please read these instructions completely before building. We recommend using a GEL SUPER GLUE for best results when gluing this model as the material in some places is porous, and it is the type of glue that works best.  Dry-fit parts together before gluing to get the best results. You may need a hobby knife as well in some cases.

As stated above, when building the shingle roof it is best to use a GEL SUPER GLUE as it will not run much so will stay in place very well when getting the shingles in place for the roof.

You will begin to add the shingles to your roof once the roof has been assembled and sits on top of your building.

Note that each roof has a pattern on it. Each line running across the roof is for a shingle to be glued on the roof & to overlap the one before it. Start at the bottom of the roof and work your way up.

Add the first row of shingles to the roof by adding glue to the first row on the roof then the shingles as above.

If there is extra hanging off the roof, cut the excess and use that piece to start the next row of shingles. Keep doing this until complete.

Glue the shingles by running a bead on the roof and the upper part of the shingle below it.

Again, when you have extra that you cut off at each edge, use that piece to start the next row.

Modeling tip: you can cut some shingles to show missing shingles or glue some on top of others to show repairs being done. 

Once complete, you can spray it with a matte finish and paint some different colors for variation, and stain it with a paint stain for even more detail - enjoy!
