Plasticard,

[jack_c]

I am planning on doing a detailed trailer for my own layout of a local trailer manufacturer but I'm stuck on the front panel,

I have looked for a while but can find a material with a large enough spacing between the indents

Anyone any ideas?

Thinking this only 7mm or so?

Thanks in advance

Plastruct make a corrugated ribbed roof sheet in 1:24 Scale (code PS-19).

But, I'm sure the scatchbuilders on here have more ideas

[jack_c]

I wonder does that have the oposite on the other side?

as is the other way round I need it,

Thanks!

This sort of thing:

[Tractorman810]

easiest way would be a 1mm sheet, cut into the flat sections, then find a 90 degree angle you can fix along between them to give the inner and outer shape, sort of like this but all glued up to form the part ---- ^ ------ ^ ----- at a guess a 1mm sheet would need a 2 or 3mm L angle to give the definition you want, was going to try it sometime for a planned trailer but not got round to it yet

[jack_c]

Have thought of that idea Sean,

It can definately be bought as a sheet but I just don't know where,

If not I'll prob use that idea or a piece of hollylovestoys white corrugate but just don't think it would be right,

Jack I have an off cut of that stuff I am sure. Give me a day or two to get over my Dads, if it is there you can have it. No charge, if its right then great, if not at least it hasn't cost you anything

Jack,check out Squires Tools http://www.squirestools.com/12-19a.pdf I think you might find what your looking for on pages 329 / 330 / 332,

[jack_c]

That would be great Tris,

Thanks Joe looks to be what I am after

Is there a minimum order for squires? I've just done a big order from EMA and won't be ordering more for a while,

Thanks for the help

[catkom3]

Oh Aye,sorry 12 blinking quid,

Regards

Joe.

[jack_c]

These minimum orders are very annoying but not a pile I can do,

Will hold off to see if I need any more stuff then place an order,

Thanks

[Tractorman810]
