Thanks for the links Asyer - those are indeed some nice examples of slate roof. I had a couple others I was trying to replicate, but my problem is that I can't seem to replicate them in miniature. Working up a proper paint scheme seems to allude me. I've tried washes, drybrushes, combinations of both, and am now messing around with inks. It is likely that I'm making it more complicated than it needs to be, but I'm just not sure what to go with it. There is no way I thought getting the paint to something I'm happy with on the slate would be so difficult.
It looks like this one is closest to the texture of the Hirst mold:

I like the copper in that one and was initially considering doing the same in the valleys, but it was difficult to get things lined up properly - partially due to the thickness of the cast pieces and partially due to me rushing a bit to get it done... To replicate that particular slate roof, would I paint it all a light gray then apply several thin glazes to individual slates including medium gray, tan, brown, 'brick' red all followed by a black ink to define the spaces between slates perhaps?
The photos with the patterns is probably not something I want to try, although it could turn out fairly neat it probably isn't a good fit for this project.
