O Scale Fish Scale Slate Shingles

Price:

$9.95

Click on (enlarge) above to see a prototype example of this style of shingles. Photo provided by Bruce DeYoung.

These laser-cut simulated Fish Scale Slate Shingles come two (2) sheets to a package.
The photo shows the Mixed Shingles but this product is just the Fish Scale shown in the photo.

If you select the adhesive backing, the strips are permanent self-adhesive - just peel and stick.

With a light painting of alcohol/India ink solution, the shingles take on a nice aged appearance - use a bit more, get more aging - it's up to you. Check the product photo - half is stained, half is not.

NOTE:  The package contains sheets of laser-cut strips of shingles that need to be layered up - just like real shingles. These are not pre-layered sheets.

Shingles are laser-cut from a heavy wood fiber content paper and resemble wood or asphalt shingles very well.

Each package contains two (2) sheets that measure 4" wide by 12" long - approximately 90 square inches of material. With a 50% overlap, the two (2) sheets cover approximately 45 square inches of roofing area.

These Fish Scale Slate Shingles may be installed alone - rather than in a mixed format.
The Slate Gray color will best represent real slate shingles, although other colors may look great too.

Updated color chips; we've added some new colors for you to choose from !

If you've ordered a specific color of roofing before, that "color name" has not changed, so you may order it again and expect to receive the same color.
(But please note, there is some slight color variation from packet to packet from the vendor source for this material.)

You may be wondering, "what's the difference between 'Slate Gray' and 'Slate'".
There is just a subtle difference in these colors.  The Slate Gray selection is the color that's been included in our color chart for several years - it's truly a gray color. 
The new Slate color selection has a very subtle hint of green in the gray - a natural slate stone color. 

Be sure to also purchase the D O Scale Ridge Caps and Starter Strips Sheet to start off and finish your shingle installation in the same color as your shingles.

Rustic Fish Scale Shingles - classic cedar ...



Rustic Fish Scale Shingles

The Classic Cedar Shingle Design, reimagined

A while ago I burned a whole lot (40 boxes of 12 each) of old mason jar lids in the bonfire.  That works out to about six hundred of them - now for a project where I can use them.

The classic cedar shingle pattern of fish scales relies on the scalloping effect of multiple layers of rounded shingles. 

They are only rounded on one end, leaving the other end square, which is covered by the next layer in the pattern. 

They're attached from the bottom up, each succeeding layer covering the top of the previous one so no part of the backing shows.

Here is my rustic take on the classic pattern, made with the hundreds of mason jar lids. Obviously, being round, they're harder to overlap - this is like a small scale version of the cedar shake shingles.

I've borrowed this technique to cover the upper gable of one of the little sheds I have around the place - this is Bliss, who we built as a catch all storage shed on skids (so we could relocate it when it needs moving) and it's built of 2x4 lumber, with a skin of OSB (Oriented Strand Board) to cover it. 

The company is the world’s best fishscale shingles supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

OSB is not very weather proof, even though this has lasted for three years now, it's time to side it with something more resistant to the climate.

This type of shingle cladding will shed the rain and repel snow, even in windy conditions.

The siding is old recycled channel siding, saved from a demolition job, and stored for years waiting for the right project.  The mason jar lids were something I pulled together in the summer, and just waited for the opportunity to use them.

I knew I wanted to do something in a fish scale or dragons scale design, so here's my chance.

Because me and ladders don't mix so well, it was up to Mike to actually attach the lids in the correct fashion. 

The muttering (curses about the wrong kinds of nails, threatening to get the air gun out, complaints about not being able to keep the line straight) made the air blue.

The trickiest part is to not look at the one you've just nailed, but compare the level with the previous few so you don't go off course.

I stood below, itching to try it myself, and got a crick in my neck from looking up at it.

Oh, the downfall of supervising!

The not quite finished project is worth the complaints - and I think he did a great job. What do you think?
