Tutorial - Making roofing shingles

posted by roman, jarhead, kong

As Robert is here with us in Augsburg these days i forced him to let me make some photos of the stuff he is doing which led to this article - he is making a little base, somewhere in the past in a small little village with tiny alleys, for a little Red Box Games sneaking miniature...

He did ask me yesterday what he could use for his roofing shingles and we went over Magic Sculp, Plastic Card, little stones to wooden veneer i did get from my girlfriend some while ago and which i never used til yesterday... you can use everything for sure as you can read above. Here is our version of last night...

Making Roofing shingles


Simple easy and short explained article ahead. Take some wooden veneer (you can get it in a do-it-yourself-store or ask your local ccarpenter), cut into the pieces you like and glue it in place. You can add scratches in some of those pieces to make the difference or make them intresting. Glueing them in place is easy, use a toothpick and superglue or PVC glue to get that extra precision. Take a look on the things you want to do for inspiration.


Do them!




Hope this article can inspire, even it is very, very short - but that is some welcomed sort of alternation.


Keep on happy painting!
Regards
Robert and Roman

  1. Cool idea...I used plasticcard on the roof of that little tower with the sniper in it (posted on maxpaint-dunno if ya remember;) but I guess the wood already has a better texture :)

  2. Yeah, you remind me that I'm having such veneer lying around somewhere here... Unfortunately I have to build a roof first! Damn it :D

    Greetings to chimpy Robert! I was wondering whose hands that are at the pics. Only thing I knew, they're much to small for Bing Kong's :P

  3. PS: Got to say this base is fantastic!!!

  4. This idea is great! This would be an artistic work! It is useful for roof renovations, or even repair. Hmmm...If ever I'll repair my roofs, I might create a miniature model for roofing, and then I'll ask the opinion of a professional roofing contractor.

  9. LOL @ Cody! But I agree with you that roofing should be handled with precision. Roof is one of the important parts of a house that needs to be built sturdily. Aside from that, it serves as an overall protection from the weathers, and it also adds the resale value of the home. In this case, choosing the right materials should also be a homeowner’s primary concern.

  10. Interesting! Knowing the basics on how to make a roof shingle could possibly equate to good handling and maintenance of your roof shingles, don’t you think? :) After all, maintaining roofing shingles is one of the most important things to consider in keeping your roof in good condition. Loose or missing shingles could be prevented through regular check-up and maintenance.
