Textured styrene slate rooof

[Hammers]

Does anyone know of a company which makes such sheet, c.a 1/50 scale? They need to look organic, i.e. architectural construction material like Plastruct and Evergreen won't do. Antenociti makes some but it's made of hard plastic, it needs to be styrene so it can bend around a curved form if necessary.

I hope this helps,e ven though it might not be quite what you're looking for.

Amera Plastic Mouldings:

And then especially their Merchant's House. It is a complete house, but there is a slate roof, that can be used elsewhere. The prices are very low, and might make this a viable option (actually depending how much of such roof you need).

Their products (I have several) are basically very (very) thin polystyrene, vacuformed models in different scale and ranges. I like my stuff sturdier, but I suppose filling them with plaster or (pur)foam would make them quite durable...

Thanks, D, it certainly is an option if I find no other supplier.

What about using the paper shingle strips intended for model railroaders?

They work quite well for curved roofs and are embossed for texture.

I think you're on to something. Got a linky?

I have it so that you might be interested, but I think it's more flat as slate tile

This sort of thing. There are several different companies making variations on the theme, but the self adhesive makes it easy to install.

Perfect. O scale would have been better but I think I can do with HO scale.

german manufacturer AUHAGEN makes shingled roof sheets that look very good, they are supposed to be HO but look bigger

[Cheeky Monkey]

Micro-Mark has some really nice slate shingles sheets that work really well. The only problem is that they are HO scale but could probably be made to work.

Dunno if there are rules about pimping your own products, but will these do?

scroll down.

lasercut from 0.5mm thick styrene in strips which will follow moderate curves, simply overlap up the roof.

random width irregular edges suitable for painting as slates or shingles
regular sized curved lower edge tiles suitable as teracotta or concrete...

more varieties will be coming over the next few weeks. Ask if there is something you specifically want.

PM me as i can beat the e-bay price.

That may very well be it. Thank you.

Perhaps RediPrene? You heat it, shape it and it keeps it's shape when it cools.
