Project Update: Decker's Tar Soap by FOS Scale Models

First project update of 2012. The Decker's is progressing quite fine. I have encountered a problem with a trim that goes along the roof edge. Included plans provide templates for cutting 2x10s. I debated myself for a bit whenever to trust them or not. At a time it seemed like a good idea to glue trim on while walls were still flat. It proved to be a mistake. The templates account for corner posts in some instances and doesn't in others. Therefore, I ended up with 1/16th gaps. Instead of attempting to pry off 2x10s and risking to break something I will fill the gaps with stripwood. 3/64 goes on top so I think the fix will not be noticeable.
