Hey mate, stay awhile, willya?

Now, for the tiles, depending on how much you wish to spend on them i recommend www.hirstarts.com
They sell moulds, and a couple of the moulds are of tiled and wooden roofs. The best bit about their moulds is that you can cast and cast for ages.
Otherwise you might want to use ceral boxes, or buy some milliput and do each tile individualy.

Hope this helps!
