1:35 Scale Beaver Tail Roof Tiles Moulds (1350059)

The 1:35 Scale Beaver Tail Roof Tiles Moulds produce scale beaver tail roof tiles that have nibs on the underside to make them easy to hang from battens.

*Please note: When you cast tiles with these moulds it is the side that you smooth off that is visible when they are laid on a roof. To get a smooth finish use the plastic / glass method as shown in the beginners guide (tips & guides page). This may produce flash, to remove it place the dry tiles in a plastic container and shake them up and down (do not shake them side to side as this will break of the nibs).

The pack contains two moulds.

The large mould produces whole individual beaver tail tiles. The small mould produces a selection of commonly used special tiles.

This mould will give you a virtually unlimited supply of 1:35 scale beaver tail roof tiles if used with plaster (using some resins will reduce the life of the mould).

These moulds are made of the high quality platinum-cure silicone giving the mould an exceptionally long library life and high resistance to aggressive resins if you choose to use resin instead of plaster.

Using Terracotta Casting Plaster with Iron for clay roof tiles.
Or a good quality hard castings plaster. Some cheaper forms of Plaster of Paris are too soft to cast thin sections.
Powder pigments to colour the plaster rather than just painting the roof tiles.
