Foami roof tiles

This is a small technique i came up with in order to replace the traditional method of molded mud which result too delayed n' a little messy for my taste.

For this we will need: a pen, red foami (because is for the roof) scissors, pliers, two metallic pipes (one that fit into the other), ruler, a scalpel, cigarrete ligther and a brush or any long wooden stick (thinner than the smallest pipe).

We cut foami stripes (the size depends on the scale of our model) mine's are 1 cm wide for 1.5 long.

 Insert the foami stripe between the pipes carefully.

Using the pliers (to avoid burning down our fingers) we use a little bit of heat out of the lighter (5-8 seconds back an forth should be enough) to bend the foami.

Right away i introduce the brush and push it down a little to ensure the constant curvature of the material.

After the stripe cool down, we cut the segments to finalize the roof tiles.
