Tissue paper for roofing?

[Tom]

I too prefer masking tape. I usually lay strips on a pice of plate glass, spray paint it flat black, apply it to the model using a wooden coffee stirrer as an application tool to get into little nooks, and then weather with powder chalks sealing with dullcoat. That is what works well *for me*, but as the good Doc says, there is more than one way to do it.

Train Nuts roof actually doesn't look half as bad as he says, I have seen plywood roofs on outbuildings with tar paper that after several years looks just like that. I think it looks just fine, don't knock yourself too hard.
