Good ideas, all.
I bought a Branline kit for a Quonset hut,
but it comes with a large single piece of corrugated plastic
(they said Evergreen but wouldn't give me the part #).
I haven't started on the kit as I can't find any way to curve it consistently
(with the 'grain' at right angles to the ground)
without any structure underneath it.
Making my own out of something else has a lot of merits.
Frankly, if I knew the kit was two resin ends and the rest I had to scratch build,
I would never have bought the kit!

Former head of Freerails, 'Dave D' posted a whole Thread,
about how he made corrugated iron roofing in O scale.
It should still be on the Site somewhere.
Was good looking.

I have that Thomas Yorke Branline kit, but I cannot get across the border to pick it up,
along with a full pickup bed of other items sitting there since Jan 2020.
Personally I would take 1/8" thick basswood to form the roof shape,
followed by strips of scale 2 or 4 x 10 and gluing them to the basswood shapes.
For roofing I would use Builders In Scale corrugated iron roofing in aluminum material.
I take that aluminum material, and dip it into FERRIC CHLORIDE circuit board etcher,
to completely naturally rust it.
I have posted many times on how I do it on this site.
I bought it for the same reason you did, has great style.
