Garden chores complete, I managed to squeeze some build time into my life. We left off with the roof construction being completed.
First I filled and sanded the roof, followed by a primer coat. I also prepped the roof sign boards.

The interior got a coat of white. All paint will be gloss varnished once painting is complete. I have discovered that house acrylic paint sprays nicely with water, saving me a fortune in model paint. It also covers really well. I used it as a primer for the top yellow surfaces. The windows and gaps are blanked off with tape so the yellow top colour doesn't get inside too much.

First coats of yellow. I think if I did this again I'd get hold of a rattle paint spray can. Getting tired of cleaning the
airbrush (or lazy).

Two coats in, I attached the sign boards. I might also attach the light fittings. It will be easier to paint them in situ on the roof, and prevent damage to my yellow from CA glue.

That's it for now, a brief update which doesn't really show the time it has taken to get this far with the roof, but the result I hope will be worth it.
