Using some tiles I ordered from Warbases, I started adding some better depth. These tiles are feet because they’re quite small, and also look posh. In The Hobbit movies, some of the buildings do have roof tiles close to this shape.

I definitely made this job harder for myself by deciding to add two additional dormers to a roof that already has two sets of inner corners!

To glue these on, I’m just using PVA woodglue, and my tiny scissors to trim as I go. Once a whole section is complete, I then apply a thinned coat of PVA and water to set all the tiles and really make sure they’re going nowhere!
