If you can locate a pair of pinking shears, you could cut your own interlocking-style shingles (they're diamond-shaped when applied on a roof), using almost any kind of paper. #800 grit, or finer, wet-dry sandpaper would work, too. 
Another alternative that wouldn't be too expensive is Campbell's shingle rolls - if you're working on a wood or cardstock sub-roof, you can use the adhesive backing (wet and stick in place) or, if working on styrene, contact cement works well.
These are all applied over styrene, although none were shot to specifically show the roof:
