<\/p>\nThis tutorial shows how to build a ”shingled” roof like the one I used here.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is a very simple design than consists of 1×2 tiles, and some basic plates. I chose to use Medium Dark Flesh, and Dark Tan mixed together, but lots of other color variations would also work really well.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The lack of tubes on the bottom of the 1×2 tiles allows some flexibility in placement which this design makes full use of. Only partially attach the tiles, and stagger every other row back a little.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The rows that are farther back should have the top end of the tile pushed up right against the stud behind it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Keep adding the tiles in this pattern.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
And that is how it’s done!<\/p>\n

If you have any questions about the design, don’t hesitate to ask. And if there is another technique you’d like to see a tutorial for, let me know.<\/p>\n
