Precision-Cut Scenic Material
This precision-cut scenic material is designed specifically for N scale model railroad structures and dioramas. The high-quality, flexible material is laser-scored to provide realistic overlap lines and seams that replicate the appearance of actual tar paper or rolled roofing installation.
Realistic Weathered Finish
The deep charcoal/black finish realistically mimics weathered tar and asphalt roofing materials. This authentic coloring captures the appearance of tar paper roofing as it ages and weathers, providing instant realism without requiring additional painting or finishing.
Prototypical Application Methods
The sheets are designed with scale-appropriate widths, allowing you to apply them in vertical or horizontal strips to replicate prototypical roofing methods. This flexibility lets you model the actual installation techniques used on full-scale buildings, adding another layer of authenticity to your structures.
Easy Application and Conformability
The material can be easily adhered to model roof substrates using common hobby adhesives such as white glue, tacky glue, or double-sided transfer tape. It is thin enough to conform to various roof shapes while maintaining a scale-accurate thickness, making it perfect for flat roofs, low-slope roofs, and even curved surfaces.
Perfect for Industrial and Utilitarian Structures
Tar paper or rolled roofing is common on industrial buildings, sheds, warehouses, outbuildings, and flat-roofed structures from the early 1900s through present day. This roofing material adds authentic detail to utilitarian structures that require economical, functional roofing rather than decorative shingles.
