For the roof pieces, I used the now unnecessary porch roof piece from the original kit. It's 1/8in plywood that is old and brittle enough to be flexible. I cut a rough hole to show the rafters I added. I could never have done this with new plywood given the limited tools I have. I painted the bare wood black. Again, this is all just the dark under layer. The portico and posts will be white, with dark shingles on the roof. Since I wasn't sure if the solid portions above and below the broken rafters would show during the shingling process, I added lines with a stylus to mimic the pattern of intact rafters.
