Hi!
Since a few years I make all of my roofs on scratch built building and structures with White glue.
It´s Quick, cheap and easy to work with.
This is how:

That is positively ingenious!
Indeed!
I like this fellow's emphasis on speed and low cost (though I wish I could work as fast as he apparently does, which would work even better!)

Thank you for commenting on this!
One of the main purposes for me making this tutorial is to show how people can cut cost by 98.8%, by avoiding buying the ready-made materials in the shop. 12oz green poly fiber is $19,95. 120oz micro fiber in the pillow from IKEA is $2.02. Then I use Acryllic paint worth about $1 to color it.. If you are building a small layout, this will not make any difference to you, but if you build a large layout, this and every detail you add will make a quite significant difference. Both in terms of what you accomplished as a craftman and the resulting cost.
It´s all depending on your personal philosophy of how you want to craft your mrr.

That's how I made my trees going on 20 years ago.

I am, and have been, aware of that, for some time ::). You think this place is my only source of information ??? Maybe you have seen me post to folks, directing them to YouTube ??? I guess not... ::)
Yeah, I confess I missed it. . . ::)
No arguments about some of this being great stuff, though! :D
I have done "it", a lot more than once. Guess you missed those as well ;)
Agree completely! :)
