A prototypical approach to modeling roof top details the correct way!

A

modeler would never consider laying track without ballast, or having a car without trucks on their layout. Yet many do not hesitate to place a building on their layout without any roof details. When modeling a building, everyone remembers to detail the windows

and doors and siding. But many forget about the roof structures: roof vent stacks, air conditioning units, drains, and so on. Being a building inspector, I see roof tops all the time, and I’ve come to realize that attention to these details adds a lot of realism to any layout scene.
