About product

The roof as the first thing a viewer sees

On a building in a diorama, the roof decides the overall impression before the masonry does. This set handles it with paper that is laser cut and already colored a light gray shade, so it is laid in layers like real roofing and does not have to be sprayed beforehand. The area you will cover is roughly sixteen by ten centimeters.

The light shade and its role

A faded gray is read by the eye as older roofing, dried out by the sun on the south side. It therefore suits a farm building, a shed, a summer annex or a house in rural surroundings, where the building is meant to look lived in rather than new. In a scene a light area behaves like a point of light: it draws the eye upwards, so there has to be something beneath it to hold that look - an open door, a figure in a window, a roof truss showing through.

What to watch when laying it

  • paper works with moisture, so choose a glue that does not add water in quantity
  • lay from the bottom up and let the individual courses overlap slightly
  • toning with dry pigment holds better than wet glazes
  • cover the edges at the gable and the ridge with a strip, so that the thickness of the paper does not show

Avoid, by contrast, letting paint run heavily into the joints - with paper the change is irreversible and a wave once created can no longer be straightened out. Likewise, do not hurry with bending over the ridge: the material breaks along the grain and a break is clearly visible on a finished roof.

The set contains the roofing, not the roof structure or a whole building.

FAQ

The manufacturer gives an area of around sixteen by ten centimeters. For a larger building, therefore, count on needing more than one package, especially if you want to keep the overlaps between courses.

The paper is already colored from manufacture, so the base shade is done. Most builders only refine the shade with dry pigments and emphasize the joints, so that the surface does not look flat.

Glues that do not bring a large amount of moisture into the paper work best. A watery glue will cockle the material and you will not get the flat back, so it is applied over small areas.

Yes, both versions handle the same material and the same area; the difference is in the shade. The lighter one looks like a dried-out older roof, the darker like a newer or damper surface.
