Building Spanish Style Masonry Walls and Tile Roofs - TB Members

[Flash Blackman]

I have attributed this thread to TB members, but randgust made a lot of the input. The thread begins with a request for making Spanish style buildings (http://www.trainboard.com/grapevine/showthread.php?t=96847) with arches, porticos, porches, etc. Randgust had one of several techniques for this, but when the thread drifted, as some of them do, several different construction methods were discussed for all types of walls and roofs. Here are some photos of both prototype and model buildings.
