1:35 Outer roof tile (beaver tail) is beaver-tail roof tiling in 1:35 scale in the outer form — a building element for a diorama, not a kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
The beaver-tail tile is a fired roof tile with an arched lower edge, typical of central European buildings. In a scene it is the roof that makes most of the impression: the regular rhythm of the tiles sets the period and the place at once, and a damaged roof is among the strongest elements of a diorama composition. It is a building element of a scene, not a model of machinery.
The same subject in three scales
The element is also made in 1:48 and 1:72 scale. The scale is the distinguishing detail — choose it according to the buildings and figures in your scene. The manufacturer also makes a further variant of the beaver-tail tile in the same line, so a roof can be put together from several types of part.
You will use the tiling on models of houses, barns and farm buildings, on ruins with exposed trusses and on small shelters. It also suits the repair and completion of roofs from other sources, where a piece of area or an edge is missing.
Clean the parts up and level the surfaces beneath them — an uneven ground shows on a roof at once. Start laying from the bottom and work upward with an overlap, so that the rows look natural; now and then turn or shift one tile, because a perfectly aligned roof looks artificial. Choose the glue according to the material — cyanoacrylate for small resin parts, thin cement for plastic on plastic. In color, rely on several shades of brick and brown applied irregularly tile by tile, then tie it together with a dark wash into the joints and finally add a green-gray tinge of moss and dust in the shaded places.
The element is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
