Thanks!

Todd ,, Many thanks for reviewing that and thanks Darren for your wonderful work as normal
This is utterly brilliant ..no more trying to build a die to make corrugated iron sheet ..i will be getting one of these for damn sure ..now the next question ..when and where can i get one ?

There is a link to the company website at the top of the review.

A bit expensive for what it is really. I use a paint tube squeezer which cost me about £2 from the Works (UK) and tin foil trays like you'd get a Chinese takeaway in which cost pence. Does corrugated iron brilliantly for 1/35th.

Have to agree with Karl.I've found packing material and dollar store place mats that work fine.$25 would be a waste of money to me.

The price is not really that bad comparable other commercially sold tools on the market. Especially for a quality tool that is ready to go out of the box and will virtually last for ever if taken care of. Sure one can Jerry-Rig something up that would work just as well, and more power to them, but there are folks can't build or are not interested in wasting the time going through the process to which this is perfect for.

Happy New Year!!

I added the video that Todd did for his site as well. Upper right. Nice job Todd.

Yeah $25 US might seem a bit over priced but here in NZ some things dont exist here ..like the paint tube roller and here the tin foil type trays which we get from the $2 dollar shops are way to thick ,,i did some scale math a while back on those trays .. using a tray to make 35th scale coro iron would make the iron nearly 30mm thick in 1/1 scale
I will be getting one of these .

Thanks for adding the video Jim! Happy New Year!!

I agree with you on the scaling Phil. The closest usable material that falls into the scale ballpark would be aluminum foil wrap I suppose. Any thinner and it would render itself unusable! I will have to remember the foil trays for armor decking on some ship builds!
