Planning on building a doll house for my niece for xmas and like this design but am having a problem figuring out the angles for the roof. I want to put a bevel on the top part of the walls to match the angle of the roofs as well. Any mathematicians out there want to help put me in the right direction in how to calculate them.

I recently completed a doll house/book case with simular appearing dimensions. 45 degrees looks and works well, and does not require much thought or jigs to make work. Cutting the shingles and positioning them on the roof took more time than anything.

In the event it's not 45 deg. here is a handy dandy chart for figuring out what the angel is and what to set on the CMS.

Did you use 3/4" ply or would 1/2" do? Or did you use solid wood?I reject your reality and substitute my own.Comment

After finally finishing a kit doll house, modified to have a removable roof, I had bunches of precut shingles and no inclination to install them. The stores have doll house asphalt shingles I didn't care for. Found a spray can of multicolor textured paint that complemented the wall colors and made the wife happy. The roof comes off in sections without fear of damaging shingles.Comment
