Having watched the miniseries Band of Brothers, and noticing the willow pattern trench systems at Brecourt Manor in the second episode, I decided to make a diorama board involving some such trenches to go with the Panzer IV H I recently finished. I was thinking about having some small areas of the trench systems rooved with corrugated iron sheeting, and have seen the sheets sold by specialist companies, but I was wondering if there was a cheap and effective way of creating corrugated iron sheeting without buying the professionally made stuff. Anyone have any ideas/tips helps?

Yes, you can use led foil, wine bottle foil, or even aluminum foil from the kitchen. Make a jig by gluing evenly spaced strips of styrene onto a piece of styrene card, you will need two identical jigs. Next, simply place the foil between the two jigs and press it together firmly. This will make the foil conform to the ridges of the jigs and make corrugated roofing.

Easier yet. I swiped a role of crinkled silver ribbon from my wife's art room. Cut to width and length and, presto, unlimited numbers of sheets.

Now, nobody tell her, okay?

or use a cardboard box which has been used to carry stuff through the post ect if you gentley prise the top surface off you get a Corrugated section look at the sides of the boxes flaps/lid to see what I mean and its all free!
