13. Measure the total length of the roof and lightly cut a across the middle.
Then you can bend and glue the cardboard roof exactly across the triangular
gables
14. With matches cut out and glue the end s of the beams , the
diagonal supports, the market stall etc. Add the shutters. Cut a hole in
the roof and glue in a chimney.
15.Use a watercolours to paint your model. Watery washes look best. Choose
the colour of the roof carefully. If it's a mediterranean roof then orange
'Roman' tiles were used. In northern europe grey slate was used. the
timbers are a dark brown but use watery colours and allow the texture of
the wood to be seen. The cardboard sides are a beige colour
.
16. At the end you can wash in a little green at the base and on the tiles.
Medieval houses were damp and and the materials must have looked mossy and
and a bit worn out.
