Miniature corrugated iron or fibre cement sheet
 
Your model railway dealer will offer different 1/87 scale imitations of corrugated iron or fibre cement sheet. Nevertheless, Mr. Hans Sack, Germany, had a very nice idea for creative modellers.
 
a piece of ribbon cable All you need is a piece of ribbon cable which you will find in most personal computers (nowadays there should be at least one old discarded PC in every house...).
 
the ribbon cable has already been treated with a sanding block Using a sanding block carefully remove the insulation until the silvry wire strands appear. Deliberately tear them off.
 
the remaining ribbon insulation has already been cut and fixed to a shed Cut the remaining insulation ribbon to the size you need (e.g. with a sharp knife and a metal ruler).
 
ready patinated roof Finally paint or patinate the ribbon sheet.
