Update!

Started working on the roof last night. I cut the base and then five strips to act as a boarder. As usual, it’s held together with masking tape while I’m working and developing the roof. Once I’ve finished developing this, I will be using a piece of black foam board for top of the roof

Wow, this is really coming a long since I last viewed it. Off to share!

Thanks Tamer

Looking awesome mate, I love Batman & Robin on the roof it gives a good scale to the building.

Thanks Ron.  Its a little on the large size and have no idea where I am going to put it lol.

This evening I carried on working on the roof, I thought I had finished with doing brick work but my design had other ideas for me lol.

As you can see, the construction on the roof is now completed. All that is needed to do it sand it, paint it, glue the black foam board into place and then glue the roof into place. Then I can start with the roof accessories.

Just so you get an idea if the size of this, I put my 1999 Rancor in front of it. As you can see he doesn't even reach the top windows.

Over the weekend I will start adding the windows before attaching the roof into the place.

Wow, this is really coming along nicely. Off to share the latest.

Thanks Tamer, really appreciate it.

Update!

Before I carry on working on the roof, I thought it was about time I turned my hand to making the windows.

I cut out 6 pieces from the plastic sheet, then using bolsa wood I made front and back window frames.  Once completed I stuck them into place with hot glue.

Next job is to do the bottom two windows and putting the second coat of paint on the roof.

[Tamer]

Looks good. Off to share.

Update!

First coat of paint has been applied to the roof, need to mix up the darker colour for the brick work before glueing the black foam board into place.

[RCWCreations]

Tonight, I got a bit carried away!

What started as only wanting to apply a base coat of limestone to the underneath of the roof (which I did). Ended up by adding beams to the ceiling, to straighten out the bending board and then having the bright idea of gluing the roof to the base!  The black board has been placed back in but not glued in place yet. But I am now at a conundrum as to
1) Do I paint the top brick work as I have the others
Or
2) Leave the roof as is and stick the black core in place before I add the extra rooftop garnish?

Thoughts please.

I also still need to add the base, first floor windows/door and accessories for inside before saying this is completed.

[Tamer]

Wow, looking good. Off to share. Lets see if we can get you some answers to your question. I kinda like the way it looks now.

[RCWCreations]

Thanks Tamer, I was kinda thinking the same but was also wondering if I should paint the corner stones a grey colour because the limestone seems a bit to bright for Gotham. 

[Tamer]

I think that would look good too. I really like what you are doing though. Perfect Gotham building or any city scape for that matter.
