mopar Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I've recently been building an LCut signalbox in 7mm. Which has gone together really well. I will be superdetailing it... (natch). Anyway, I've built the roof but feel that it looks a little 'flat'. So I purchased a sheet of plastic roof tiles. The aim being to add a more realistic look to the roof. Can anyone enlighten me as to why every other row on the sheet is plain? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brassey Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I guess you cut them into strips and overlap them to get a 3D effect 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tile that Roof.. Thanks for the link Snitzl, judging by the length of your tiles I was supposed to leave the plain strip above the embossed strip. Oh well, we live and learn. Time to order a few more sheets and start again.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
