  In this section you will draw Shingle guidelines, 

and attach the Roof Panels and Roof Tops.

25.  Glue and tape the Ledge Trim to the exposed edges 

of the Top Floor, fl ush along the bottom edge (the Ledge 
Trim sticks up above the Floor).

26.   On the outside of the Front and Side Roof Panels 

draw guidelines for locating Shingles.  The fi rst guideline 
should be drawn one Shingle length (

1

1

/

4

) from the bottom 

edge.  Draw the rest of the guidelines spaced 1” apart (Il-
lustration #21 and the Guideline Measure at right).

27.   Without glue, Test the Roof panels on the house 

to see how they fi t.  Take the Roofs off, then glue and tape 
them to each other, to the Top Floor, and to the Tower Top 
Sides (Illustration #22).

 

Check to make sure the Roofs are fl ush with the edges 

of the Tower Top Sides on the inside.  

28.  Set the Attic Divider inside the attic against the 

Front Roof.  Make absolutely sure that the Front Roof is 
fl ush with the top edge of the Attic Divider and the Tower 
Top Sides (Illustration #22).  Let the glue dry.

Pro Tip: it is far easier to pre-cut wallpaper to fi t the roofs before attaching the roofs to the house.
