Unseen previously, underneath the front edge of the anvil are two adjustment screws which push the anvil against the blade. Once I slackened the retaining screws and then used the adjustment screws the blade now sits tight against the anvil and it will happily cut shim so although I haven&#8217;t tested it yet it should cut the 10 thou nickel and brass sheets that it previously just bent down between anvil and blade.<br>To help with the location of the roofs I cut a strip of brass sheet (scrap etch) and then curved and&nbsp; scored it to represent the planking above the verandas. These were soldered to the underside of the roofs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"817\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_0008-817x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4089\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_0008.jpg 817w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_0008-239x300.jpg 239w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_0008-768x963.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 817px) 100vw, 817px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next the\u00a0 roofs were covered in lense cleaning tissue to represent the canvas and finally the chimneys soldered on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Connoisseur-LSWR-Brake-Vans-Canvas-Roof-1-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4087\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Connoisseur-LSWR-Brake-Vans-Canvas-Roof-1.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Connoisseur-LSWR-Brake-Vans-Canvas-Roof-1-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Connoisseur-LSWR-Brake-Vans-Canvas-Roof-1-768x513.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Connoisseur-LSWR-Brake-Vans-Canvas-Roof-1-449x300.jpg 449w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Connoisseur LSWR Brake Vans &#8211;
