So simply flip it over and trim along the template edge. -
Shingle template - All shingles are in before trimming

Not having to pre-measure and precisely cut the shingles along the edges made this a few minute exercise. It was my fastest roof section despite its challenging location. -

I put a small spot of hot-glue on the back of the bottom row to hold them in place on the template. The subsequent rows are only glued to the prior row so that the paper template can be easily removed later. Those Fiscar's scissor trimmers have been awesome at cutting the shingles and siding. They make precise cuts without destroying the delicate pieces. They also were useful for trimming some of the rough edges of the larger pieces before sanding. -

Just a simple paper template to start with. -

Thanks to others advice on the forum, I took the template approach to this area. -

The eve support trim was more of a challenge than expected! Many of those small pieces broke and sometimes disintegrated almost completely upon extraction. I think I had a couple poor boards here. -

This is my favorite point in the construction of a 1:1 home. The rooms are just complete enough to clearly visualize the completed product with furnishings. -

Boy, I'm happy I stained and clear-coated these stairs before installation! There is no way I could have sees what I was doing after they were in. -

This model has really sleek lines. I can see why other builders left off some of the included trim. -

I've got a roof and walls, so can I stop here and call it done? -

Hi all! I've loved miniatures as long as I can remember, and having a dollhouse is a lifelong dream... sort of a bucket list type thing. I'm told that I'm getting the Beacon Hill for my birthday, and I'm over the moon! It's so wonderful to see what my fellow miniacs are up to, and I plan to make some of my own furnishings. It's hard not to rush out and break the bank though. I'm trying to remind myself that I'm going to work on it for a very long time, so I don't need top of the line everything right away! I'm wondering if I shouldn't try a smaller model to start out though... I found a le maison Tiffani online for cheap. Any suggestions? -

So as an avid Supernatural fan, I purchased the Funko Pop Dean, Castiel, and Sam a few weeks ago. They were so cute and tiny that it reawakened my miniatures bug! So here is Cas hanging out on the porch of the Beacon Hill that finally has windows and such! Only minor things left to do to the exterior! -
Hi everybody, I am Sabrina, currently a New Yorker and a college student (studying history/english/law) on break, who was recently given the Greenleaf Beacon Hill house by her mother. I instantly fell in love with it, however it is in pretty bad shape. I am hoping to do a lot of the work, now that I have the time. I recently started working on it. It is built, and I started painting it and fixing the broken pieces on the house. Does anybody know how to replace the windows by any chance (if you can that is)? I look forward to learning from every one and hope this project is equally rewarding as it is stressful. P.S. Since I am sorta lost lol any advice is very much appreciated :throb:

My original Beacon Hill from the 80s. Unfortunately it was in my parents' garage and subject to the heat, cold, moisture, etc. Now that I have my own home I can rebuild a new kit inside and not worry about the elements! -

I've discovered that a few of my Beacon hill floorboards are coming away at the corners. when I laid them down I used used double sided tape which is very sticky as I was advised not to use glue. I am just wondering if there is anything that will work even better to stick them? I've not worked on my house for ages so this year I'm hoping to make up for lost time. And then there's the Bellingham that needs to be finished too.

Hi folks. My best friend lost her father about four years ago. He was in the midst of building a beacon hill doll house for her. Its been in a garage for several years. She recently asked if I might take a shot at it. This is one of those...emotional things. Its about 2/3 built. I have gotten to the point of building the tower roof. The roof pieces are curved but because of storage conditions im almost certain that they will crack if I "unroll" them to glue them on. Is there a technique to this? Steaming or something?

OK - me and my daughter unpacked this kit last night and it is just a tad intimidating. Now after seeing some of the amazing work shown on here I have some inspiration. Thanks.
