The topic "roof" has been closed unsatisfactory last week.
It has been restarted with an old version of fine gravel glued on the roof with plain while wood glue.
The next topic is a roof similar to Kurt's explanation. It is important to follow his advise and use waterproof sandpaper. I ignored his advise and the water of the glue soaking through the paper ruined the glue. Had to do it today again after shopping for waterproof sand paper. The black pen is a critical device too. I did ruin five yesterday because they needed some pressure for a good ink flow. That ruins the tip after 1 to 2 inch.. I did get another one "Edding 8405" that flow fine without any pressure. It should be resistant to almost everything. What a bloody lie. Black wash with and without alcohol as well as any paint ruined the black line and let it bleed. Hat to redo one roof with a new layer of basic gray.
I did try Kurt's tip to sand the sandpaper. Funny thing, no effect at all except a bunch of gray dustl. I will give it another try tomorrow. I did also try Thomas method to draw the black line with a very fine brush. That is not a method made for me (my hand and eye). I ruined the line at once and it became much to fat.
There are two more roofs to go
