What is a Shingled Roof? A shingled roof is a roof made of overlapping sections of metal, wood, slate or similar building material. This process is used throughout the world and has been used over different time periods. This instructional will hopefully help you recreate this look on your models with ease. Considering this tutorial uses a ready made product from ThingsFromTheBasement, the build is even easier.

In this category TUTORIALS will be posted that allow you to create the one-of-a-kind artistic look for your buildings that all of us admire but never quite figure out how to achieve.
Thingsfromthebasement has partnered with Tony Rieger to provide modeling tips on those techniques used for the Russian Village (our first kickstarter).
You will be able to read through a tutorial on screen but also download and print for easier access during your work.

Readers are encouraged to use the comment box for questions or to suggest more tutorial topics.

Enjoy and good luck with your own project!

So, here we go, ThingsfromtheBasement now has a blog! My wife has been nagging me about giving it a try for a while, but I have resisted. “A blog is a lot of work”, I have been arguing. “Nobody will be interested”, I have said. “I have nothing to post”, sounded lame. Today I caved in.
BlogfromtheBasement is just another blog. It will tell you about new things coming to my range (sneak peek), show tutorials on how to create stunning terrain using my kits (tutorial) and allow you a glimpse behind the scenes of design and production (production), take you to the fascinating world of gaming conventions (convention flash) and show you images from inspiring road trips that influence by range (road trip news). I also intend to give customers and friends a chance to write guest blog on their own creations or their dedication to the hobby (feature).
And because a blog needs to be fun and exciting, I will occasionally use the blog for sweepstakes and polls, which means you get to win some goodies or even better influence the next kit that is going on the market.
