Last week we looked at how to paint roofs to make them look realistic; this week, we're looking at how to add details to your roof such as eaves and soffits.

One of the scale houses in the videos is tiled and the other is tar-papered.

Tiled roofs are supported by rafters and it is normal practice to cover the ends to prevent water seeping where it shouldn't.

Tarpaper roofs are also faced around the edges in wood giving us another opportunity to add a detail.

Materials

North Eastern or Kappler Scale Wood - 2" x 4"
Isopropyl Alcohol and India Ink Stain (2-3 teaspoons ink per pint of 99% alcohol)
Vallejo White Acrylic Paint 001
White Glue
