I've been workin on these 2 items just today and I'm not done yet ,all I have been using for the shingles is sand paper and when it's done I'm gonna paint the roof. If you have any questions just comment I'll answer them! -Saul Osorio

Saul, thanks for posting

I've not heard of using sandpaper to make your own shingles - very inventive!  What size are the actual scale shingles as your photo makes them look a little large.  I used similar shingles that were supplied in strips when I did a recent structure.

Yes they do look very large because the camera was really close, do you know the size of your shingles? And the size of the shingles are 3/16 x1/4 thanks
