[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by spovlot I painted some 150-grit sandpaper black as an experiment. I planned to cut it into strips to look like tar paper. [/quote] Actually, using sandpaper is to represent the texture of the fine gravel that is spread after the roof is coated with hot tar. You wouldn't see strips of material on a new roof, just an even coating of the small stone. (That is until the roof required patching, other work on the roof messed it up, tree limbs fell on it, etc.) I cut the styrene sheet for the roof to size and used it as the template to cut the sandpaper. Glued it on and weighted it down over night. Then installed it on the building. Wayne
