Finally, I decided to draw row of "single" in AutoCAD and print them to scale. Then, I scribbed every shingle to get the motif texture. This way, I would get the exact "à la canadienne" pattern.
Then, all rows of shingle were cut into long strips.
The starting row is always horizontal, others are placed at an angle near to 30 degrees.
I also placed flashing in the right place to get a prototypical look.
And the final touch, including a Tichy chimney.
Finally, the roof got a generous layer of good old aluminium paint, as it should!!!
