Photo 2 - I have used a modelling tool to smooth the DAS and ensure that all sections are covered and that the DAS is pressed home.
Photo 3 - I am now adding 'sausage's' of DAS to amend the shape of the thatch and ensure that the organic shape of natural thatch is modelled as accurately as possible,
Photo 4 - the rough shape is now achieved, the roof area is fully covered with DAS and the sides and bottom of the thatch have been 'beefed-out'.Photo 6 - the combing complete. (I still need to model the apex section, this I will do once the DAS has fully hardened).
Photo 7 - although not a great photo, it does show how I model the over-hang of the thatch, I use a blunt cocktail stick to prod the clay in an upward motion, creating texture as well as subtly shaping the still wet DAS.
Photo 8 - shows the modelling tool I have used.

This is indeed a great tutorial. Thanks for sharing your steps in creating a thatched roof. I think I will try to make a thatched roof on my houses. Thanks again.
