There is a small piece that goes under the front edge of each peak.
I put it there to create an aligning edge which can butt up against the vertical face.
It also adds the thickness to the edge so it can be coloured (to create that dark fascia).

To be honest, I'd print those underneath parts twice, and add a third layer.

When you look at the width?thickness? of the real fascia,
you can see two colours, two layers making up up about 10"-12" (250-300mm)of fascia.
So, at 1/400, it should be almost 3 cardstock thicknesses (.625-.75mm)

Unfortunately, at this scale, its just to narrow to add a real "fascia" (edge strip).
