World War II Project - 28mm Village Church - Sarissa Precision - The Roofs - Part 2

The stained glass arrived but I still need to do the shingles so I'm going to set that material aside and try to forge ahead with the shingles. The Sarissa Precision Village Church kit comes with laser engraved shingles on the roofs so it would be perfectly reasonable to just paint the roofs and go. Its a huge flat expanse though and it needs a little detail, so on with the shingles.

Its easy enough I just take some cardboard from cereal boxes and draw out lines. There are two sets of lines one to represent the visible part of the shingle and one for the overlap. That way I can cut lay everything out with a single strip of shingles rather than apply individual shingles and everything stays a bit neater. Here's the process:

The horizontal lines

The vertical lines

Strips are cut, just need to clip the vertical lines up to the narrow line where the next level of shingles will overalap.
