Three sheeting materials are shown.
The gray material is by Plaststrut #91630 "asphalt
shingles" Item PS-112. With Black mortar lines this
makes a very convincing concrete block material. Not usually
seen on top of a building, concrete block goes well along the
exterior wall of an industrial building. |
Also shown in tan color is a sheet
of stone material. This was used for the chimney in the lead
photo. This looks good on top of rustic buildings and
even townhouses in the city. The stone is Slater's
Plastikard item #419. The brick red material is what I will use in this clinic.
It is Slater's Plastikard Item #0401 4mm brick red. Plastikard
is available from Railway Models, Box 871 Edgewood MD 21040.
There are other manufacturers of this type of material
including Holgate and Reynolds. I chose these because
they are pre-colored, making it easier to add mortar lines
without taking off the brick color. |

I also prefer to buy this in sheets
about 7 1/2" x 12" rather than in long strips a few
inches high.
This dimension allows about a dozen chimneys to be made at
once. |
