Shingles

[Sumpter250]

great looking boat house Pete , I use a similar system but never thought of wrapping paper though , been using craft paper at 4 times the price. what I need now is to find some way of cutting the scaloped shingles that they were so fond of using in the victorian era .

I was using standard 20 pound bond paper, but I was not happy with the white edges left after cutting. Darker construction paper was too heavy, so the wrap, is the best compromise I could find.

I like the use of the scalloped, and straight cut shingles on the Mansard roof. You would need a specific cutter, as those scalloped shingles are all the same width, where the straight cut vary in width.
" Try a Craft store for various "fancy" scissors."
I might have to look into that also. Thanks Andrew.
