		<title>SS Ltd. Dorothy’s House, Part 10:  Parapet and Chimneys</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Building of a module, part two: benchwork continued</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
I continued contrustion of the module by clamping the first cross member and screwing it into place.  This is one of the chief advantages of using the L-girder type construction.   It allows cross members to be easily moved if the design of the layout requires it.  I used a countersink bit to pre-drill for each [...]]]></description>

		<title>Building of a module, part one: benchwork</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
I decided that it was time a built a module section of a layout at home in order to have a place to display the models I have built so far.  I researched several methods of benchwork construction and decided upon the l-girder construction.  I made this decision for the excellent combination of strength, relativly [...]]]></description>

		<title>SS Ltd. Dorothy’s House, Part 9:  Drybrushing  the roof.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
After the glue had dried on the roof paper I removed the tape and began by touching up all of the roof.  I then dry-brushed several layers of color on the roof panels.  I used two colors of green and then used a dark gray and a light gray which I also used on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>SS Ltd. Dorothy’s House, Part 8:  Painting and weathering of roof</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
After I finished installing all of the copper sections of the roof, I painted the top section of the roof using floquil&#8217;s roof brown.  As I did not mask the top section when spraying the contact cement, it left a little bit of texture.  My only intent was to save time when masking as it [...]]]></description>

		<title>SS Ltd. Dorothy’s House, Part 7:  Beginning the Roof</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Once I had completed installing all of the windows, I began work on the roof.  My first step was to use and x-acto knife and trim all of the roof panels so that the seams were fairly straight and smooth.  I found that a slight sawing motion provided the best results.  Do not worry about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
After cleaning all of the castings, using an x-acto knife and a selection of jeweler&#8217;s files I primed and painted the window and door castings.  Once the paint had dried I cut the clear plastic to the correct size by using a razor knife and a steel ruler.  I attached them to the window frame [...]]]></description>

		<title>SS Ltd. Dorothy’s House, Part 5:  Begining the Roof</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Once I had all of the brick paper glued into place, and the windows and door openings had been cut out, I started working on the roof.   I made sure to test the fit of each piece before gluing it in place using the Elmer&#8217;s wood glue.
Going back to cutting out the windows, I found [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
While the brick paper was drying I used 3M Super 77 Contact Cement to glue a 3&#8242; scale strip of the foundation paper to each wall panel.  After this had dried I first painted the brick a brown color, using a PolyScale paint.

This became a problem later when I attempted to wash the brick with [...]]]></description>

My project over the last couple of days has been to prepare the brick paper.  The first step was to paint each sheet of the brick paper with Floquil Oxide Red.  I used a fairly wide brush, but in the future I think I will use an airbrush as I finally bought an air-compressor.  An [...]]]></description>
