The roofing shingles for Laser Art structures comes in strips that have to be placed individually, staggered and kept square. This may be OK for a small shed,but is impossible when constructing the many angle multi-roofs on a Gingerbread mansion. I spent hours in creating a sheet of roofing on paper, and then cutting out templates of the many roof parts. Perhaps one can get plastic roofing shingle as a sheet. I plan to cut out each section around the templates, and then glue them in place on the wooden sub roofing. Any suggestions or comments Bob Hahn

lots of laser cut styles here;
to get you started!
I tried to get to roofing sheets of styrene on the Plastruct site, but their “downloadable” catalog stalled on me downloading…it DOES look promising under “sheets” starts off as plain sheets then goes to textured sheets, and I think there you might find textured roofing.
Also, Walthers has this for SLATE roofing:
