Surfing at work randomly today, I came across these gems:

Down towards the bottom, below the wonderful windows, are some pre-cut strips for quickly and easily creating roofs. A superb idea!

Here's a link to an image showing them in their glory.

Nice find Alan!
Looks like they might come in real handy for someone making Gondorian terrain.

Yep, I agree Dave - Gondorian, Breeland, Rivendell, Laketown, and the Grey Havens all could benefit from these quick and easy roof tiles.

Plus they have some wonderful extensions to the HirstArts range of molds:

Pre-cut roof tiles? Where's the fun in that? :roll:

Next you'll be buying Pre-painted minis just to save a bit of time. :P

I cut my own from card. The moulds for flagging and brickwork look lovely and I wonder how many of those round windows will make it into Bag End?

None, at least not in mine.

I might get some of the brick and tile moulds eventually and do a review of them in the future

I didn't even think about the elven realms...that would be excellent for them!
