I've tried two methods over the years with varying degrees of success, and I
would hesitate to consider either as "best", but here goes...
Use masking or drafting tape, usually in 1.5" sizes, to cover the roof. I
always add adhesive to the roof rather than depending completely on the tape
adhesive long term. When painted it is probably more a tar paper "look" than
canvass, but it is pretty effective. The second is more challenging - lay out
tissue (facial tissue, "Kleenex", whatever...) and then spray on thinned white
glue like the ballasting technique. It is very touchy when wet and not very
forgiving if you start trying to adjust or move it, but again the effect can be
good.
I would think other techniques would be generally addressed in the model
railroad press. Keep us informed of your progress!
