Middle gutter - detail

The Heritage kit included gutters and downspout materials. One length of gutter-shaped wood and one long dowel. These were acceptable, but I went with different parts.

I bought gutter shaped wood from All Small Miniatures the day I went there for the asphalt shingles for The Artist's Studio. It's shaped differently and it is lighter in weight. Considering there will be very little surface area for gluing, I thought the lighter weight material would work better in the end.

I cut the lengths I would need using my scroll saw. The corner joins weren't the cleanest fit mainly because this house is so rickety. But, I was able to sand them to fit well enough. A little spackling here and there, and it won't be an issue in the end. The ends will also be capped before painting.

I had to forego putting gutters on either side of the dormer, because the area between the main roof and the left side of the dormer didn't allow for a full turn. Putting it on the right side only would have brought more attention to the problem.
