I have used these and they are excellent.

They do look really nice.  Having shingled one building with the Litko shingles (which was not horrible, but I now still need to paint them) I might be inclined to try these out.

You're still cutting them with a jig...

I find cutting the shingles to be no less part of building the model than, say, cutting the wall pieces.

It's simple, it's easy, doesn't require special tools and it uses free materials (old cereal boxes and the like). And I don't even find it takes all that much time either.

If you prefer to buy pre-made, that's fine. I was just saying this because it seemed to me there was lack of knowledge about the free and easy choice.

I'd use either card or coffee stirrers, but then I'd quite happily spend an evening cutting them.
