Old Witch's Dancing Hut
A roof over your head
With the basic structure in place, it was time to start tiling the roof.
I wish I could say there is a short-cut for this, but alas, there is none (at least none that I know of). The best way to make a tiled roof is still by cutting out the tiles one by one and gluing them on. It is the most flexible and most natural looking once you’re done.
I used plasticard instead of cardboard this time. It’s a bit harder to cut, but I had vowed to myself not to use cardboard on this project. Plastic is more sturdy and easier to paint.
So I started cutting out rectangles and then chamfering 2 of the edges.
And with the tiles all cut out, I started off gluing everything to the frame. Start at the bottom and just work your way up.
Like I said. It’s all pretty easy. It just takes a lot of time, but once you’re done, the end result looks pretty cool.
