martin Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 that corrugated paper would look well painted brown and used for a ploughed field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendt-man-matty Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 i would say its card but it is wee bit bigger than the scale but i think it would be too small for ploughed fields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ford Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 thanks i think it will look good on your shed roofs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ford Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 are you going to hand paint or spray the card. i found that hand painting makes the card distort / buckle. but spraying did not , i used car primer and thin coats first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendt-man-matty Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 thanks mark. yea hand painted some of my old sheds and it bent them plus it made streaks in the paint. so i think i will just spray it either green and light grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ford Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 i backed all mine with 2mm balsa wood, makes it a lot stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I have used 0.04mm ply. Expensive but does the trick. .. . saying that I havn't actually painted the card which I have glued on yet so I won't count my chickens!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fendt-man-matty Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 does it?? i guess my brother can cart me out to get primer and green paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I suppose it depends on the paint the sort ive tried dries but you can still see the colour of the card through it as it soaks into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
