SS Ltd. Dorothy’s House, Part 10: Parapet and Chimneys
Posted by DomMar 15
For this section of the build I installed the chimneys first, after assembling them. I painted them by dry-brushing a couple of colors over the gray primer coat. I used a ca glue to assemble them and to fix them to the wall. I then cut each of the pieces of the parapet into the correct length, and then held it up to its final location to judge the angle I needed to cut it at. As you can see in the picture there was a slight gap between each one, but I was able to use Squadron white putty to cover those. You can’t see it from the picture but I made sure to paint each of the pieces before installing them, as it would have been difficult with them already in place.
After the glue had dried (it took only a couple of minutes) I began the installation of the special molding on both the parapet and the top section of the mansard roof. At each of the major corners I left a gap for the “spike” that would go into place. In this picture you can also see that I began to fill in the top of the bay window with putty.
