In the middle of our street (14)
The roof ‘construction’ of the conservatory does have a stainless steel boarding. Not the most elegant look but a very solid protection after repairs as a result of a leak due to severe weather a few years ago. Now to make this in scale is quiet funny. The roof is a simple piece of styrene sheet supported at the bottom by a beam. Nothing special. The boarding however I made by wooden skewers, cut in pieces, put them in position and covered them with tinfoil. Then cut the tinfoil and removed what was not needed, put in the right place and finaly fasten it with glue. To finish the roof I covered the styrene with roof covering (sandpaper, this was the covering till a few years ago, nowadays it has an extra layer of white pebbles which I might put on later).
