HO Three tab asphalt shingle advice
Author: Casselton

I am looking to finish an HO building with three tab asphalt shingles instead of tar paper.
I would appreciate recommendations and why you recommend using a particular brand.
Any advise, such as how you apply the shingles, would be helpful.
Thanks,
Mark

Perhaps this is a Photoshop project?

I've used the product from Rusty Stumps (https://www.rustystumps.com/) and been happy with the results.  They come in self-adhesive strips about five inches long in several colors.  The model I built is currently packed so I can't post any photos.  The next model I build, I'll be sure to mark some guide lines on the roof to keep my shingle lines straighter.

Any chance you could link to the product? I tried various search words on the Rusty Stumps website and came up short. No "shingles" "roofing" "asphalt" "shingle" (singular) "tarpaper" "adhesive" -- none that resulted in anything but structure kits or details.

Interesting products... but I'm also looking for shingle material. Thanks for any linkage!
