Corrugated roof materials at last!

[smallclaas]

Just got these sheets of Corugated material today not bad at ?1.75 for a 2X1foot sheet. available in several colours and just the right scale for 1/32 modelling. Only downside it's made from card. But it'll be great for cladding buildings. If anyone wants some it's available in most artist supply shops.

Thats a resonable price Smallclaas, way cheaper than the plastic alternatives we see.

[smallclaas]

It's not bad stuff FP, it keeps it's shape and allows cutting without damaging the shape of the corrugations. I hope to start a few projects using it soon.

[JC]

Definately a good find for anyone working on a tight budget or trying their hand for the first time at making a building, it won't bankrupt you if you mess a sheet of that stuff up will it.

thats not bad is it small class,where did you get it from?

[smallclaas]

Got it in a local art shop here in my home town of Cavan. Most likely a good few miles from where you live TM810!

[Tractorman810]

mmm a tad out of the way,oh well will look at 4dmodel shop for some

[Deere-est]

Yes Deere-est it will def do a Dutch Barn,

As for a ref on it FB sorry no, just a small sticker saying green! helpful or what! got some more today.

I have tried the card route out once ?looks great ? but once its built lock it in a glass case and look at it

My reason for this is don't make a scale replica with this roof as if you drop sumut on it that's the end if it ?unless you just cover it again

I am not saying this to put you off using it ?I am saying it so as you don't make a masterpiece and be gutted when it ripps or dents

as for making a dutch barn type foof out of corry card ? ? Try gluing it to some thin ply eg 1/64in then mould this round some formers and glue strongly

[smallclaas]

YEP! Deere-est just bent a sheet of it through 180 degrees without any damage to the groves. it'll most surely do a Dutch Barn.

[smallclaas]

I agree Smurf but this stuff has a strong card back to it, you'd want to hit it with a bit of force to dent it. Ok the models made with it you'll have to look after them well and don't let the small people of the house get to much interest in them.

[SMurF]

for added protection  you could allways try coating it with some matt polyurathane varnish a few times  to stiffen it up considerably

I look forwards to seeing your results smallclaas with interest

[smallclaas]

Do'in an 8 bay slatted shed at the mo so should have something by next week.
