new project
I used some 1/8 inch square tubing to replace the missing truss work. I used the existing truss as a guide. well I didn't need to make an exact replacement, just one that was the same dimensions as the others, they really wont be visible on the finished model. I cut the tubing to the fit and taped it on to one of the old trusses, then tacked the side away from the truss with some gap filling CA. To make the bend in the upper most roof support I heated the stock with a hair dryer and bent it to the same angle.    
   

When this was dry I removed the new truss and tacked the other side with CA.
