How to make a roof

February 3, 2008 by Blackhat · Filed Under Modeling & Scenery 

This will be my first article about modeling here at Librarium Online. I was looking around for some of my old models when the idea of making a tutorial popped up in my head. I had a few houses I made at least 10 years ago. They have been stowed away and was now just collecting dust. I remembered the time I made them and I also remembered the roof and how easy it was to make it so I did a little reproduction tonight to show you how I did it..

First we need two things; carboard & scissors. Yeah I told you it was easy!

I took one of the many boxes I got when I buy catfood. Excellent thin cardboard. Then I cut the cardboard into small pieces like the picture below.

After cutting a few thin pieces like this, then we have to cut them some more. Look at the picture below to see how you should cut

Dont try to cut them all similar, difference is good and make your roof look better. In the picture below you can see I have made two, but you will probably need alot more.

When you are overlapping them like this it starts to look like a roof, but you need to paint them too. Im not very good at painting, but this is how my “finished” roof looks like.

Well, thats it. A short tutorial on how to make roof the easy way! The roof would probably gotten better if my painting skills was better, maybe they are now, but this roof is 10 years old now :) I hope you enjoyed my tutorial and I hope you enjoy your stay at Librarium Online too :)
