Responsibility details are not available.
A scenery material from the Czech manufacturer Model Scene for dioramas in 1:72 scale. The package contains two flat sheets of fiber cement slate covering. It is not a finished roof and not a building kit, but a loose material that you glue onto your own substrate. Besides roofs the slates also suit the cladding of gable ends and the side walls of sheds and outbuildings, which is a common solution with this covering.
Fiber cement board was used from the first half of the twentieth century as a low-cost and non-flammable substitute for both shingle and tile. Small flat slates are laid with an overlap, usually turned diagonally, and create a characteristic regular grid. The covering is typical of Czech farm, industrial and railroad structures, sheds, garages and outbuildings of the postwar period. In time it grays to a cool tone, greens with moss on north faces, and individual boards break, so the boarding beneath them often shows.
Lay from the bottom up with an overlap following guide lines drawn in pencil, otherwise the grid will drift, which shows at once on a regular slate covering. Paint only once it is glued on. Fiber cement is a cool gray, so start from a base mixed from gray with a hint of blue or green, never from brown. Irregular toning of the individual boards, a dark wash into the joints and a greenish pigment on the north side of the roof give a scene credibility. A few broken or missing boards bring a scene markedly to life.
The material is supplied unpainted, for further work. The glue, the paints and the supporting structure are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
