Shouldn’t there be metal flashing on the outer edges of that hip roof?

By the end of this clinic, you will be familiar with how slate roofs are installed in the real world,
and will be able to simulate those techniques on your
models.

Where do you find slate roofs?
• The main slate beds ranged from Virginia up to the Provinces of Quebec and Newfoundland.
• The closer you are to the source, the more common slate roofs are and the wider the variety of slate roofed structures you will find.
• Grand structures (churches, government buildings, schools/colleges, museums, etc.) can be found with slate roofs throughout the US and Canada

What kinds of structures had/have slate roofs?
• ‘Grand Structures’ – as mentioned
• Railroad Structures (Stations, Towers, Sheds, etc.)
• Houses - both large and small
• Barns
• Garages
• Sheds

Facts about Slate & Slate Roofs
• The way slate was formed made it so useful – cleavage planes
• Slate colors: black, gray, green, purple, red
• Roofing slate dimensions– 3/16” to ¼” thick– 6” to 12” (or more) in width– 10” to 16” (or more) in length

A fairly narrow slate (fish scale)

Head Lap and the ‘reveal’
• Generally a slate 10” long will have about a 3.5” reveal.
• For every inch longer a slate gets, you increase the reveal by about ½”– an 11” slate would have a 4” reveal– a 12” slate wouldhave a 4.5” reveal, etc.

Slates can be added over a solid sub-roof or horizontal battens

One of the distinctive characteristics of a slate roof is the
variation in colors from slate to slate.
This is something we need to capture when we move to the
modeling phase.

Preparing the Roof

For Weathered Metal Use Paper or Index Cards
• Paint paper before installing on roof• Paint dark gray or your favorite rust color• Paint verdigris color (green patina of
weathered copper)• My recipe:
– Paint first with Model Master Brass Paint– When dry, go over with a thin 50/50 mix of
PolyScale Rust and PolyScale Rail Tie Brown– Finally add a wash of PolyScale Jade Green

• Take the Cool Grey 20% marker and color random slates using the fine tipped end
• Take the Warm Grey 30% and do the same with other random slates
• Finally take the Cool Grey 40% and color a few more random slates.
• At the end, I find that I have colored about 2/3rds of the slates – the rest I leave the original color

Making the Ridge Roll (HO)
• .047” diameter styrene rod• Prime then paint the color of your flashing• Cut to length and color the cut end(s)• Use a few dabs of gel type ACC and glue
rod to the exact peak of the roof.• Cut pre-painted lengths of index card a
scale 6” or 8” wide• Glue these ‘legs’ of the ridge roll flat to the
roof and up under the styrene rod.

Slate Saddle Ridge or Strip Saddle Ridge
• Cut pieces from the shingle sheets
• Use Shortline Chopper
• Add a little white glue to the back
• Start from one end
• Overlap each by about 1/3rd for Saddle Ridge or Saddle Hip
• Glue adjacent to each other for a Strip Saddle

Mitered Hip Roof
• Use brand new single edged razor blade
• Glue slate shingles to the roof on one side of the hip and let them extend over the edge.
• Using the other roof of the hip, slide the razor blade along the edge cutting the excess off
• Repeat for other side(s)
