SanchoPanza Rides Again - ReVamping Gangs of Rome
Second Building and Guide to Roofing
I have finished the second revamped building using the EVA plastic fridge liners from Amazon and I think they can out much better than the corrugated cardboard as they are much strong and sturdier.
Here is a link to the ones I have used. Fridge Liners
I cut them into 1cm wide stripes and laid then down so the next layer overlaps the layer below. Now these are not the best representation of Roman Pantiles as there is a short flat part between each rib but they are much better than the plain MDF roof from before.
Below is a small guide showing just how easy it is. I use contact adhesive to glue them down but it is messy, as PVA takes a day to dry.
The first image is the building before the revamp and see the roof has squares etching into it. I used these are a guide to help with placing the new tiles.
The image shows the EVA tiles placed and overlapping each other. With these tiles I actually cut them to 2cm in width not 1cm.
The third image shows them fully tiled.
The fourth shows them primed ready for painting. I have cheap car primer so the paint to stick to the plastic and not tub off.
