Good Roofing

[MoPac_Eagle]

I am building a couple different ho scale buildings and I need a good premade roofing material for them. Any ideas?

What kind of buildings? Ones that will suit shingles, tar paper, aluminum sheets, sand paper?

All kinds Main street building, houses, interlocking towers, depots, roundhouse, anything that needs a roof basically. I have a lot of "finished" buildings that just need roofs.

Campbells has some nice shingle material, as does Bar Mills, I believe. JTT Scenery has a lot of options that I have used as well.

Also, Laser Art for shingles: http://www.laserartstructures.com/laserart-structures/parts/shingles/shingles.html

I've done a couple of roofs now with 600 grit sandpaper. If you cut it into 36" wide by 12' long strips it looks like roll roofing. You can paint it, one I did in a red wash and one in grey.

I glue mine down with double-stick tape, but glue or 3M 77 spray adhesive would also work.
