Need help with roof molding

Roger · 28 Mar 2012, 17:41

I was wondering if someone would have a model of a stone crown molding (I am not sure my terminology is correct so see the link and give me the proper description) that would go above a dentil molding on the restoration of an old Chicago style hotel.

See the model in the hands of the director of community development at:

Good karma to anyone that could save me hours of modeling and check with me on how I could possibly return the favor.

Disclaimer: I am not practicing architecture, but I came up short on a photo prop and am building one out of thin air.

Maybe a "cornice"?

Thanks Dave, that was the word I was looking for. Do you have an wood cornice models. That I could retexture with stone?

Dave, thanks. The right word helped me with my search. I found something that was close enough. You saved me hours. Much appreciated.

I probably have something intended as a wood molding but I'm glad you found one. I started looking for concrete cornices but got sidetracked.

These old hotels are interesting, no air con, no pool, no phones in the room, no TV, no wifi, no card keys, windows that opened. I don't know what the designers were thinking.
