How do you make the roof for Design Preservation Models? It came with some flat sheets of plastic but how does it go on/work?

Have built a few of these, kit bashed a few more. As I recall, I glued a small piece of wood (or plastic) along the inside of the walls 1/2 inch (3/4 inch if I used corrugated cardboard for the roof) from the top. If the span was long (take a guess how long that is) I'd place a piece of wood or plastic across the span. After those pieces dry you'll cut the roof piece to shape, place it where it belongs and weather it. Or use paper towels or Kleenex tissue cut in strips to simulate tar paper. Add vents as desired. Have fun. John
HRSPLA,
Just buy a piece of styrene sheet from Evergreen. Buy a .040 or .060-inch thick sheet. They sell them as large as 12 inches by 24 inches so you can make your roof in one piece.
