Need help with roof

My dollhouse is a Petite Dreams. Two pieces of the roof in two different
corners came off. Now there is a brown shape where they were. It does not look
pretty! What can I do? Does Petite Dreams have shingles I can buy or get??

Check www.miniatures.com to see if the shingles/ shakes they carry match
yours. You might want to consider replacing the whole roof if the "bald"
spot is unsightly. I've had very good luck with the inexpensive alternative
of sandpaper shingles.

Or, you could do what folks around here do when their shingles start
coming off...cover it with tin! Now, 1:12 scale for roofing tin would
be about equivalent of gold leaf, which would be hard to work with to
say the least. Probably, for your purposes, you could go with
aluminum foil, and I'd probably use the heavy duty variety, just to
avoid unsightly bends.

Tin for mini tin roofs is available for sale. I used copper sheets on the
part of my roof where it was flat and then applied a patina product. Looks
cool.
