Embellishing MDF roofs
« on: May 11, 2023, 07:01:44 AM »
A blog piece about ways I've been using to improve roofs of MDF buildings, in particular hiding the lugs and joins that are the tell tale signs of an MDF laser cut. The full piece is here http://thetacticalpainter.blogspot.com/2023/05/sorting-out-few-mdf-roofs.html

Good article. I totally agree that a little extra work on the roof is very effective at really lifting the look of an MDF building.

I think the more higgidly cut Sarissa ones are probably aimed at 28mm fantasy buildings.

Warbases do some that are similar to Charlie Foxtrot too.
I've used a few of theirs (they have several different styles) over the years.
Haven't tried Charlie Foxtrot ones yet, mainly because I can pick up the Warbases ones at shows in the UK
