Zombie Apocalypse prototypical roofing question

[Ultravanillasmurf]

I am assembling a Sarissa Precision Survivor Shack, and wondered what the consensus is on suitable roofing material.

Is there a regional/state variation in US rural shacks (question courtesy of Generalisation Inc.).

Is roofing felt/tar paper common?

For a rural shack?  I'd say corrugated tin roofing and maybe asphalt shingling would be more common than tar paper.  But that might just be regional to the southeastern US.

But having grown up in rural Georgia, I'd recommend the corrugated tin.  (Note: no matter what the metal actually is, most people in the area refer to it as "tin".  We also call aluminum foil "tin foil" and steel food cans "tin cans" for some reason.)

Thanks.
Nice photograph.
Interesting, same here for foil and cans, but iron for corrugated metal sheets (except for "wriggly tin",  the material of choice for Colonel Stephens).

I will have a look through my Slater's Plastikard sheets.

Having found what I had assumed was 7mm scale corrugated iron (it was the larger of the two) I proceeded to cut it up and epoxy it to the roof.

While looking for something else, I then found the 7mm sheet, I have used 4mm scale sheet.

1/56 is 5.4mm to the foot.
