Roofing is on and I smoked the rafters! I tried to make the shingles look like slate. I used my kids water color kit to color the shingles and washed them with zombie washes (from local card - game shop) names like zombie rot gray, zombie poop brown, gangrene green and some goofy named blue. Do they look like slate or zombie smear ??

bob the builder,

         What a cool & fun build this turned out to be.  This is one ridiculously awesome and expertly built structure.  Can't wait to see it in it's final home.  Ha, love the name and logo.   Thanx Thom...

Rick,
Great job!  IMO you really nailed the look of the slate shingles.  I have seen the Laser 3 display model and understand how massive this structure really is and how much work goes into this build.

Try 'stippling' various colors of chalks/pigments over top of the shingles.  That adds a bit of extra texture.  Looks great, I wish I could fit that monster on my layout.
