I discovered that placing black rivets decals on
a black surface is a bit of a challenge. When I do
this again, I would paint the roof a gray color to
make this step easier. I made sure that the rivet
strip was snug with the ribs by pushing it up
against the rib base with the small paintbrush that
I use to put on the Solvaset.

After rivet decals were set, I sprayed the roof with
Floquil high gloss to seal them. This finishes up the
construction required for the radial roof master.
In the next issue I will continue with the project by
describing how I built the ends, the molds, casting
and finally painting and assembly.
So until next time,
have fun with trains!
