Roof tiles are laser cut and come supplied as an A4 sheet.

There are 20 rows of 196mm wide card strips on a sheet.

Wastage is next to nothing as tiles are PVA'd into place and cut with a craft knife or scissors. Once a strip is used, simply butt up the next piece.

Start AT THE LOWEST EDGE and work across the roof. Then place the next row above with an overlap to get the ridged effect. Adding the roof tiles to your buildings will enhance the look and make painting easier.

A craft knife or scissors can be used to distress the "planks" as required.

The "Hunter's Lodge" also available in this shop is shown with waney planking roof and how the card looks once painted. please see the "painting wood effects tutorial" in the blog.
