Very, VERY, VERY cool site! 
Thanks for the link.
I am wondering if it would be possible to adhere the roofing image to a piece of card or styrene, then with a sharp #11 trim along each row and perhaps between the shingles then lift it up. The cut edge would have to be colored with chalk or paints (or felt pens) to match, but that's not too tough.
I'm sure it's doable, but I guess I'm really wondering if it will look decent.
Anyway, no real progress on my layout either - spending more time on the summer contest. But the layout bug is biting, and of course, looking at another's progress is always a spur to get moving!

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
