Wow!   Thanks for the positive responses guys.   This was one of those 10-15 to an hour a night projects over the past few weeks.  It got its self put in timeout twice. 

Vince-   The blue was simply a light dry brush over A&I board.  The white however was pastel chalk pencil.   Never tried this and now I love it.   On my way to Hobby Lobby to get earth tone ones today. 

The dilapidated roof is simple wood grain pics from the internet.  I folder over a the paper so the board lines up on both sides and glued it together.   Never tried that before either.   Plank boards wouldn't be more than an inch thick so two layers of paper would do it I figured.  Maybe next time a piece of masking tape glued in between or brown paper.   I then scored the lines of the printed boards after cutting the roof shape I needed.  And then removed a few as well as collapse a few into the interior.

  If you look inside you will see the original structures roof has slate.  It is not unusual to have old roofing materials buried under new construction.   I investigate fire scenes and get to see the GUTS of a build a lot of times.  I'm starting to want to incorporate some of what I see in modeling.

Like a lot of the others, I can't get enough of job you did in modeling that decayed roof.  Fantastic, and I am coming back to this for inspiration on future projects.
Thanks for posting!
