Dollhouse Exterior: Roof Shingles

The Dollhouse kit came with a standard MDF roof that had tile marks cut into it. It would  probably have looked OK just painted but I decided to shingle the whole thing. 

Yep, I didn't really think that one through. After laying around 2000+ individual shingles just on one side of the roof, I still have the front side to go. This also involves cutting the shingles to fit around both of the small dormers and also the large bay dormer. 

I have now come to terms with the fact that I often make idiotic decisions all for the sake of appearance, however I think it looks better than just paint, and may be worth the hand cramps and hate towards shingles that I have been experiencing!!

Dollhouse Exterior: Roof Top Dormers

For the dormers, I ordered in some ornate bird apex trims and also used the front apex edging that came with the dollhouse kit. The shingles have been stained and both dormers have  been installed - very exciting!.............for me ;-)
