roller shutter doors

[MJB1]

been thinking about this for a while now & thought i'd give it a bash , trying to get hinges onto doors is no fun , so i thought about the more modern roller shutter doors 

i removed the end / side from a britains shed

then found some channeled strips , this was originaly from electrical conduit  \ surprise  heated with a hairdrier & slowly bent to the angle of the shed roof & uprights

well tris if his model making is anything like his artwork then you're not far wrong 

in the school of about 300 kids he & 4 others were picked to represent the school in an art contest they did pretty well . the other 4 were nearly 3 years older than him as well !

Here are my doors. I found some small corrugated thick paper at a paper shop. It is silver and has very small ridges in it like a roller shutter doo. I doubt these pics will do any justice though.

Can see it look pretty good though, so where did you find the card then Jez?

[Jez]

It was in a craft shop that has loads of different textured card and paper. They had some excellent silver thread that i will be using for wire when i get my set up in place.
