Half-scale speed shingles


otterine

I'm very pleased with the results of my half-scale speed shingle experiment. I think it looks more like the real Victorian houses in my area than it would have with the kit's oversize shingles. I absolutely love the shape of the gable windows, too! I've adored this house for years, and it's so much fun finally bringing it to life.

I have one of these in my garage (kit) I haven't built one in years.... You make me want to pull that kit out and build it. Thanks for taking the pictures and sharing them!!

Thanks, everyone! I guess if I paint these, I'll just have to build another house in the future where I leave them natural! :lol: The to-do list never ends!

I agree about the little shingles too. i wish I had thought about that when I did my house. It makes my full scale shingles look huge! I love the look your getting on this.

It Iooks great!

I have half-scale shingles as trim on my house, too. Wish I had them on the roof, too; they look much better than the big ones.
