Next hiccup is there is no cut out in the front to see in..  So do I cut out the inside of the wall so you can see in.  My Favourite Building:- 1919 https://forum.model-spac...=339517&#post339517 -

If I do cut out the wall section and increase the bottom of the window unit I have to make three of these.     My Favourite Building:- 1919 https://forum.model-spac...=339517&#post339517 -

So what do you think. Hiccups Two or three windows. Increase the bottom slightly. Add internal wall sections. My Favourite Building:- 1919 https://forum.model-spac...=339517&#post339517 -

Hi Mustang,  So, my thoughts to cure the issues in one go. Mark the positions of the windows as tight as you can to the sides and cut through the panel. This should allow you to tilt the top of the windows back to make the outer surface perpendicular and allow sight through the windows. Glue the bottom edge and sides to hold in place, but you may then need to do a small filler job over the top of the windows and a small trim job on the inside of the panel, or build up on the inside. Hope this gives you some ideas of how to solve the problems.  Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Definitely three dormer windows..... in my humble opinion of course!
The room decorations look fabulous. When can I move in?

Hi Derek, I did think about doing it that way, but my concern would be that once you’ve cut the shape at the top to allow that section to slide in the inside would need more work. You would still need to fill in the sides but you would then be left with the curve on the inside needing a lot of filling or wood shaping.

You would still need to fill in the sides but you would then be left with the curve on the inside needing a lot of filling or wood shaping. I see what you`re saying, so the only other way is to pack out the bottom of the window to get them vertical and fill the gap down the sides with a triangle of wood to help adhesion. Then you would only need to cut out a rectangle for viewing through the window. Its very strange that the holes for the windows were not pre-cut. Just another thought, (that`s two in the same day ) If you were to tilt the window back through a fully shaped hole, the thickness of the roof panel will take up some/maybe all of the amount of the window that needs to be recessed. That could explain why the windows don`t sit straight on the outside of the roof. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

From memory I just cut two holes where I wanted the windows to sit and then glued them in place. I pretty much ignored the instructions for the roof with the one I built and did it my way, which worked out in the end.

So window hiccup sorted, I'll be doing three as it does look a lot better... And sorted the angle out, I did look at cutting the shape out on a spare piece derek but the amount the window as out was more then the thickness of the plywood so I would still have needed to fill the bottom out. So I just built the bottom out instead.     Now all I have to do I get the nerve to cut out the wholes in the front of the roof, would mind so much but the flysheet already has the wallpaper on the inside as the manufacture stuck them on.
